RUN FOR IT!

New runners learn training for a race is no easy task BY CRYSTAL RHYNO ADVOCATE STAFF Running does a body and mind good. Just ask three relatively new runners who have stepped outside their comfort zones and into the world of distance running. Over the last several months, these three runners learned training for a race isn’t always smooth. Their paths were littered with time and family commitments, nagging injuries, negative mind chatter and Mother Nature’s unpredictable behaviour. But the runners say the challenges will be worth it when they cross the finish line at the Woody’s RV World Marathon and Half Marathon in Red Deer on May 19. ••• Toni-Lee Johnstone, watched her mother, veteran Red Deer Runner Diane Goodwin, compete in marathons for years. But it wasn’t until Johnstone listened to Born to Run by Christopher McDougall on an audio book that she signed up for her first marathon. “I love to push the envelope for what I am capable for doing,” said Johnstone, 37. “I really believe our bodies were designed for Toni-Lee Johnstone running and running long distance.” Johnstone, an executive assistant and mother to a five-year-old son, said she is running in the memory of a friend who killed himself about six years ago.
