Because it lets me be selfish. It's the thing I do that's just for me, and nobody else.
BUT I HAVE FORGOTTEN, that this being-selfish-thing takes so much discipline.
I have been off the horse for way too long and now it is time to get back on. So I have made myself a personal challenge, and it posted for all to see so I stay accountable. I am hoping to get 15 runs done in 8 weeks. This means most weeks I have run 2 times, and this is a lot with our winter weather and our busy"ish" life. When A and I were training last year for our 1/2 marathon we rarely ran more than this. Also, in completing this challenge I will be well on my way to a good training start if I decide to register in race this spring
So wish me luck, sunning skies, an i pod that is always well charged, little ice and slush.
I can't wait for the exhilaration of finishing a hard run again.
Get crackin' missy! I've been doing really good lately, as I have a new running buddy (a girl I taught with the last 2 years). Thought you would be impressed - I am running a 1/2 marathon on Father's Day! Or at least, I'm going to try! Went today and yesterday and both days were tough because, even with little spikes on, I was slipping all over the place (darn snow). We have been going every 2nd day, and I can see already how time-consuming it must get as you get into doing the longer runs. Hope all is well. Talk soon. Erk
