Fitness goal: Kristen Horler wanted to complete the 2010 Sarasota Half Marathon injury free. She sustained an Achilles tendon injury after the Palm Beach Half Marathon in December 2007, where the pain was so bad she didn't think she would be able to do any distance running again. The Sarasota Half Marathon was scheduled for March 14.

Training regimen: In preparation for the half-marathon, Horler ran two days a week, with one short run and one long run. “I teach six to nine fitness classes each week so squeezing in my training runs was challenging,” she says. “I wanted to avoid running on back-to-back days and I always take Sundays off so I can recover.”
