Hello and Happy day to you!

Last week I challenged you to share with me the reasons why you do this crazy thing called running.

The response that I received was overwhelmingly awesome!

It was so cool to read everyone’s reasons, because they are all so different.

Looking for some motivation?

but I do it anyway. Continue reading

How To Talk Yourself Into Running… When You Really Don’t Want To.


HELLO! How are you today?

I am super fabulous.

Yup.

I had an 13 mile long run over the weekend that went well.

Yes!

Although my mileage was VERY low last week- I can’t complain.

No, no I can’t.

Sooooooo… I must mention that I started writing this post last Friday and forgot about it.

Whoops.

Better late than never, right?

Right.

Anyway, I did not feel like running last Thursday night, or Saturday morning for that matter.

Nope.

My legs were a little sore after my lovely hill repeat workout on Wednesday.
