First let me start off a good note, I finally got my running sneakers!  I was amazed at the difference it made in my first run back.  I’m not sure at what pace I ran at, but I could certainly feel my stride automatically open up!  I didn’t have to worry about taking small strides in order to cushion the landing.  My sneakers took care of everything.  I was able to just enjoy the run without feeling the burn in my shins and ankles.  I also am amazed at how my body DID NOT remember the 9 weeks of training…I would say only about 5 weeks’ worth was in the bank, so I’ll be in training mode once again.

What motivates you?

I would love to hear from you all what motivates you on your bad days.  I would love this blog, the one I have been away from, to be all about how well I have done, but I haven’t done well.  I was Sick for last Saturday’s workout, but I did manage to get in runs Friday and Thursday before I really got sick.  We didn’t have a Thursday workout since it was Thanksgiving.  My eating has been lazy and my workouts have been slow.  Fortunately the scale hasn’t moved too much but that is also an unfortunate as I shouldn’t be at a stand still.

I joined the GFC because I was sick and tired of not looking like I used to, so why isn’t that good enough to motivate me?
