This will be my fourth season\u00a0with Lubbock Fit. I do not have a running background. My motivation\u00a0was to get into better shape and maybe lose a few pounds. The program\u00a0has worked for me. I began training with Lubbock Fit at age 57. I have\u00a0completed 1 full marathon, the Panhandle Marathon in 2013 and 5 half\u00a0marathons: San Antonio Rock \u2018n\u2019 Roll 2011 and 2012, the New Orleans\u00a0Mardi Gras in 2012 and 2013, and the Willie McCool in 2013. My wife,\u00a0Vicki, and I have participated in many local 5k and 10k races.\u00a0Running with Lubbock Fit has changed my life. Our \u201cgroup runs\u201d on\u00a0Saturday are informative, challenging, and fun. The running tips, friendship,\u00a0and encouragement I have received from the group have helped me gain the\u00a0knowledge, conditioning, and confidence to finish a marathon and a half\u00a0marathon.<\/p>\n

You can get into better shape, meet new friends, have fun, lessen your\u00a0chance for injury, and complete a marathon or half marathon with the USA\/Lubbock Fit program. I am eager to share what I have experienced the past\u00a02 years. Come join us and let\u2019s see what we can accomplish together.[\/vc_column_text][vc_btn title=\"EMAIL PAUL\" style=\"classic\" shape=\"square\" color=\"black\" align=\"left\" link=\"url:mailto%3Afaulknerpaul36%40gmail.com|||\"][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=\"1\/2\" css=\".vc_custom_1563902631417{background-position: center !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;background-size: contain !important;}\"][vc_single_image image=\"3904\" img_size=\"large\" alignment=\"center\" css=\".vc_custom_1590012365919{background-image: url(https:\/\/www.usafit.com\/lubbockfit\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/redbar.jpg?id=3317) !important;background-position: center !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;background-size: contain !important;}\"][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=\"1\/2\"][vc_custom_heading text=\"Vicki Faulkner\" font_container=\"tag:h2|font_size:26px|text_align:left|color:%23105677|line_height:2\" use_theme_fonts=\"yes\"][vc_custom_heading text=\"Organizer - 5K\/10K\" font_container=\"tag:h2|font_size:20px|text_align:left|color:%233a3a3a|line_height:2\" use_theme_fonts=\"yes\"][vc_separator color=\"custom\" align=\"align_left\" border_width=\"3\" el_width=\"20\" accent_color=\"#105677\"][vc_column_text]Let\u2019s get moving! I have been with Lubbock Fit for several years and each year I get to meet new runner\/walkers and I learn more about running and getting fit. My motivation is to get people started with walking and also to be an encourager for the entire group. I trained for and completed the San Antonio Rock \u2018n\u2019 Roll half marathon in 2012. I have completed numerous 5K and 10K races in the area. Some of the most fun events have been the Howl-O-Ween Dog Run\/Walk, the Carol of Lights Run, Turkey Trot, and the Color Run. Runners and walkers are positive people that are fun to be with. The fun and friendship at our group runs on Saturday is something that I look forward to each week. The benefits of walking are numerous: Getting into overall better health, increasing your energy and stamina, focusing on an attainable goal, and the feeling of accomplishment once you reach that goal. Whether you want to walk 1 mile, \u00a0a 5K, 10K, or half marathon, you have to get started. You can\u2019t finish the race unless you begin!

I joined USA Lubbock Fit for their summer session and met the most amazing runners. At that time I had a goal of running my 1st<\/sup>\u00a0\u00bd Marathon. I had ran lots of 5K\u2019s and 10K\u2019s but had the goal and dream of running a \u00bd marathon. I met with the runners weekly and we followed the plan before us. With all the excitement of each Lubbock Fit runner and all the training runs and races we ran together I completed my 1st<\/sup>\u00a0\u00bd Marathon in Vegas in November 2017. But my story does not end there. I continued to train with the Marathon runners and I went on to San Antonio and ran my 1st<\/sup>\u00a0Full Marathon. USA Lubbock Fit is for everyone. We encourage each runner\/walker to come see what the excitement is about. Your goal may not be a race your goal may be to be healthier we can help you. Your goal may be to get healthy and meet new friends.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=\"1\/2\" css=\".vc_custom_1563902631417{background-position: center !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;background-size: contain !important;}\"][vc_single_image image=\"4063\" img_size=\"large\" alignment=\"center\" css=\".vc_custom_1681269420584{background-image: url(https:\/\/www.usafit.com\/lubbockfit\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/redbar.jpg?id=3317) !important;background-position: center !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;background-size: contain !important;}\"][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=\"1\/2\"][vc_custom_heading text=\"Toni McCasland\" font_container=\"tag:h2|font_size:26px|text_align:left|color:%23105677|line_height:2\" use_theme_fonts=\"yes\"][vc_custom_heading text=\"Head Coach - Half Marathon\" font_container=\"tag:h2|font_size:20px|text_align:left|color:%233a3a3a|line_height:2\" use_theme_fonts=\"yes\"][vc_separator color=\"custom\" align=\"align_left\" border_width=\"3\" el_width=\"20\" accent_color=\"#105677\"][vc_column_text]I joined Lubbock Fit because I wanted to achieve the goal of getting active and completing my first half marathon.

I have never walked or run any distances. I was afraid because I am not a runner, but this program has a group of Walkers and we have a great time. From the first day I joined everyone was so friendly and supportive. My first days were rough on my ego, as I could not even get around the park. I had dreams that the coach asked me to not come back-but that did not happen instead they have encouraged me and given me the extra motivations I needed to succeed. I have completed as a walker the Red Raider Road Race 5K and 10K, The Race for the Cure, Llano Wine Run 5K and 10K, Willie McCool 10K and The LAS VEGAS ROCK 'N ROLL HALF MARATHON!!!! I so look forward to the Saturday morning walks and seeing the members of my walking family.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=\"64px\"][vc_custom_heading text=\"\" font_container=\"tag:h2|font_size:36px|text_align:center|color:%233a3a3a|line_height:2\" use_theme_fonts=\"yes\"][vc_custom_heading text=\"\" font_container=\"tag:h2|font_size:36px|text_align:center|color:%233a3a3a|line_height:2\" use_theme_fonts=\"yes\"][vc_btn title=\"CONTACT US\" style=\"classic\" shape=\"square\" color=\"black\" align=\"center\" link=\"url:%20http%3A%2F%2Fwww.usafit.com%2Flubbockfit%2Flubbock-fit-contact-us%2F%20|title:USA%20Fit%20Contact%20Us|target:%20_blank|\"][\/vc_column][vc_column][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
