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.
