Running in the Fog

Over the past two months, I have fell off the workout wagon. I was really inspired by Kristine's motivation for running. She is a Mom with two young boys, who gets up at 5am to run before getting herself & the boys ready for the day. If that doesn't kick you in the pants to get up & go, I don't know what will!

I am also really inspired by runners that I read about in Runner's World who are 75 and running marathons, lost a leg & do races, or cancer survivors. As the great Billie Jean King said, "Pressure is a Privlege" well so is running & working out. There are a lot of people who can't work out so if you can, why give that up?

So, I have a goal of running a 10k this year & found one in October. I was doing well with running & doing 5Ks but honestly, you don't need to train for a 5K. Its 3miles. So, the whole training part started to come apart as I realized I could go out and get thru the race without running or working out. That does not mean I was winning the race, by any means, but I wasn't scared of it enough to practice. A 10K, I will need to train.

Therefore, I got up this AM and went for a short run. It was foggy and around 60 degrees. I know the rest of the country is in a heat wave and here I was in leggings and a sweatshirt.

Yes, the city literally looks like this in the fog. This AM, there was a light mist that was all around and it makes your hair damp. It's like being on a Ghost Ship. haha

Anyway, hoping that making a plan & signing up for a race will keep me going!
