1. I decided against Rock and Roll Savannah this year. Hotel has been cancelled. This year has sucked majorly for running and I just decided that if I was going to spend all that money I wanted to enjoy it. And I knew that I wouldn't enjoy suffering through the race and then I wouldn't enjoy having to drive back from Savannah for the LSU game so I just said scratch that. I kinda feel like I cannot even call myself a runner this year since I have slacked SO much but it happens. Le Sigh. This is me and my little violin. But with that said, I will run at least 1 5k per month for the rest of the year. I will work my way back into this running thing and I will hit the half marathons again in 2012.
Quote me.But - when I announced that I was not going to run it - just mentally and physically unprepared I was told by a wise runner pal on Twitter (@swim_bike_run) "sometimes racing smart means not racing at all. You're not lowering the bar, you're adjusting your goals :)" and that comment is still just amazing.
2. So I merged the dog blog into my
wedding/life blog and now I am trying to figure out how to merge this one into that one. I don't want to lose all my followers - I don't know if they merge into one - and I would have to broadcast that the blog has moved. It just seems like a lot. And also - what if I start to become a running fool again will I want a separate running blog? Decisions Decisions.
3. So I am getting married in 5 months and 4 days (or something like that) and I have been very inactive. Most brides try and shrink for their wedding day and it isn't that I'm not trying to be super ultra fit, I have just been slacking. (are you tired of hearing about that yet...) but I saw this
Holiday Bootie Buster challenge that I am SO going to try an attempt to do well to try and get me back into this running thing. I am hoping this will give me some sort of motivations right? Thanks
Elizabeth for mentioning it in your Three Things Thursday!! Now I gotta get ready to bust out some work outs starting November 19th.
glad to help!! hopefully it will be a motivator for you too. and don’t beat yourself up over the racing. you had career (almost) changes and big life changes with the move and wedding planning. sometimes “life” just gets in the way and you can’t do it all. i like the 5K goal. start with something smaller-and there are tons of great 5k’s this time of year (i wish I didn’t have TNT every weekend so I could do some of them)
ReplyDeleteIf you're getting married in 5 months and 4 days that means I'm getting married in 4 months and 15 days. I think don't quote that math. Ew. So much that needs to be done. I was supposed to pick out invitations this weekend but never made it off the couch for wedding planning let alont running. Yuck. Let's do the challenge together! I'm totally in!
