I want to run 1-2 miles (10-20 minutes), three times a week (M, W, F) before class at the gym or around my neighborhood.
I will be able to get outdoors more often and experience the fresh air. It will allow my two dogs to run free alongside of me. They are little speed demons and are just begging to get out there and run wild. Running is a challenge for me. It's a mental game and I usually have to force myself to do it. However, when I finish my run, I feel like I have accomplished something. It may be a small accomplishment, but it still feels good. I enjoy participating in marathons and other running events, but never really seem to train that much. By starting this small goal now, it will only make those races easier and probably more fun, rather than dying afterwards. I completed the Ragnar Relay Race this summer...Group of 12 of us, 193 miles, from Winona to Minneapolis...I have not run once since that race, haha. There's no better time than now to get started up again.
I think this is a good smart goal. I know what you mean when you said that it is a small accomplishment but it feels good. It is always hard to me to go out and run, but when I am done I feel so much better.
ReplyDeleteWhat an inspiring goal! Running can be tough to do, but you definitely enjoy it and hopefully see benefits. Spending more time in the environment is a great goal. I like that by looking at other people's goals, I am getting ideas on what other aspects of my life I can change. I would definitely love to spend more time outdoors too.
ReplyDeleteThis is a good goal. I know what you mean about running and how it can be a challenge but after you are done with the run it is so rewarding! Good luck with this goal Jamie.
ReplyDeleteWow this is a great goal. I also find running to be challenging. I am not a runner. Good luck on your goal!
ReplyDeleteI think that this is a great goal. Very original, I think that this also takes a lot of dedication. Im interested to see how the relay race goes too! I wanted to be a part of that actually, but it didn't work out.
