Check this video out to see how that "voice" in you're head can damage you!
You think I'm doomed? Nah, I just got on some running shorts and jumped on my treadmill. I only did a brisk 3 mile walk but combined with the 2 miles from the day brought me to a whopping 5.2 miles! Hey, I'm taking it! I'm only 22 miles behind since I didn't get start until the 4th for my 2015 miles. I WILL catch up!
I decided to combine a little motivation for my 2015 miles. I am setting up a mason jar and for every mile I walk/run I am putting in a quarter. "That's it?" you say. Yes, that's it! It ends up being $503 at the end of the year. That's like 4 pairs of running shoes. I will need that too since I should go through a couple this year getting the miles in.
I am finally making some running friends. I even got asked to go running this past Sunday. If I wasn't driving my kids to Nashville I would have jumped right on that. I did have doubts after seeing how cold it was but I think I can hang. It's the speed at which these girls go that I might not be able to hang. Only time will tell.
Speaking of making running friends, Melissa even asked me to run with her team in the Ragnar Relay Series. I researched them and it seems fun. It also seems a little hard. If I keep myself consistent with my running (as it seems I will) then I will be good.
I also found me another half marathon to run this year. It's in Ohio in August. I would say that I may die with the humidity and heat but this one is in the cover of trees! I look at these things when picking my states. So that actually is my 4th planned one this year...brings me to 9 half marathons and just 41 more to go. Lol!
It was a good day!
