When I first started running 20+ years ago, my pre-run routine included nothing more than getting dressed and lacing up my shoes. When I realized I wanted to see my performance improve I learned I would have to make some changes. Especially as I have gotten older, a running specific warm up is now a non-negotiable. When it comes to warming up before a run I always say something is better than nothing. If you only have 2 minutes, use that 2 minutes rather than skipping the run. Better yet, cut a few minutes off your run so you have a little more time to warm up.

My husband and I are both signed up to run the Richmond Marathon on November 15th. There was a time when we often trained for and ran the same marathon. Since having kids we have each run 2 separate marathons. Our lives are much different than they were before kids and I do question if we will be able to pull this off, but we are going to try!
