About WillRunzForFun...

In April 2008 after more than a year of walking on a treadmill and struggling to stay in my target heart rate range, I finally decided to just RUN! My first runs were 1 mile and gradually increased until to 3 miles per day several times per week. Because I am over 40, I consulted with an exercise expert (my sister) who gave me some tips and pointed me to some very cool websites.

I track my running statistics including time, distance, average pace, speed, average BPM, BMI, calories burned. Along the way I set a goal to get my average pace down below 10 minutes per mile (I started running at over 15 minutes per mile!) I can now say that I am able to run 9.5 minute miles comfortably. I have been known to run 8.5 minute miles on occasion.

These days I run 4-5 days per week and exercise 5-6 times per week!
