goals. i should probably set some.

After I ran my half marathon in June I was on top of the world. I felt that I could accomplish anything and take the world by the balls. I was empowered and strong and confident. Well, I do feel empowered,strong and confident on most days .. I really do. But not in my running. I want that back. I need it back.

So, as winter is upon us and running becomes a little bit more difficult outside. I mean, we all know it’s not IMPOSSIBLE to run outside in the winter in New England but we also know – the conditions leave a lot to be desired. We all complain about the dreadmill, especially if you have a high mileage day and the roads are covered with ice,slush and snow. It’s easy to stay tucked in your nice warm house, knitting and sipping a nice cozy beverage. It’s so easy to talk myself into doing that STILL, after all these runs I’ve gone on and loved, the races I’ve done and loved goals I’ve accomplished. I still can convince myself to be lazy. How does one stop doing that and convince yourself to NOT run one day or NOT work out one day? I want that problem.

I guess one should sign up for another BIG race and start training? That seems to work best. I need to set some goals. Some weight loss goals,mileage goals and going to the gym goals. I need to commit to these and own them. Hold myself accountable for them. So, do me a favor and tweet me, email me, comment me and hold me accountable will ya? Ask me: Have you ran today? Have you eaten like a little piggy today? Did you work on your core today? I will tell you.. yes. and thank you for checking up on me. What? You have better things to do than worry about me? Well alright then, I understand. You have a life too.

So, with that all said I’m going to take a runny run around the ‘hood. BEEP if ya see me

Happy Running and Knitting (but not at the same time!)
