Back on the road

Prior to Tuesday my sneakers had not seen the pavement or a treadmill in two weeks. My knee, my head, and my heart were all feeling lazy, unmotivated, and a tiny bit sore. I have felt this way before and pushed through, however the last two weeks I easily found excuses to walk instead of run, stay at home instead of going to the gym, and sulk instead of being proud. Of course it felt good to "rest" but it would have felt great to have run.

On Tuesday I turned my frown upside down, my husband pushed me out the door, I downloaded some new music, and set out. The first 6 km were the fastest 6 I have run in a long time. My knee (possibly due to my husband's dry needling torture) did not feel too bad and I loved my new music. Two new favourites: Some Nights & We are Young by Fun.

So in addition to the fear of an upcoming race, I hope to use my husbands torture, new music, a little self bribery, and some Pinterst ( I am so hooked) motivators, such as this one below to keep my sneakers on the road.

HOWEVER....if anyone would like to join me to: get on track, stay on track, run slow, run fast, or simply run to run off the jiggles and have some Mommy giggles then please please call and bring your sneakers. Mine are waiting at the front door.
