Easy as 1, 2, 3…and 4? http://tucsoncitizen.com/run/2009/08/25/racing-easy-as-1-2-3and-4/ Keep up with Tim Bentley and the running scene Mon, 10 Jan 2011 20:35:32 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: michaeljohngreene http://tucsoncitizen.com/run/2009/08/25/racing-easy-as-1-2-3and-4/comment-page-1/#comment-82 michaeljohngreene Thu, 27 Aug 2009 17:50:04 +0000 http://tucsoncitizen.com/run/?p=39#comment-82 Excellent advice.  I had foot surgery two years ago and one year ago I started running again.  But I really can't run, I have to alternate running with walking.  So when I do my 4 1/2 mile loop, I plan out how I will alternate walking and running for the first 1 1/2 and for the second 1 1/2 and for the third 1 1/2.  Having each segment different gives me a goal and keeps me focused and makes it easier for me to complete my workout. Good luck to all that run the Saguaro National Monument race, I love that race and hope one day to be able to do it again.
