... and the training begins ...

I remember in 2010 I was an unexperienced runner and my friend (boss and avid runner), challenged me to train for my first half ... I was at a different time of my life I guess, because I was driven to complete it ... nowadays I have weeks of super dedication and weeks in which I really can't motivate myself. But today ... the training begins ... after skipping my second half due to injury ... I am going to do it ... my second half ... 

Today is a holiday and I made great plans yesterday as I entered my training plan in my calendar ... but this morning again my motivation was not at its peak ... suddenly I just got dressed knowing well that it was just way too late to run ... I also knew that I would find an excuse not to run later that evening ... so I got changed without thinking much about it and headed out the door ...

The Run

Well, lets just say it was miserable ... my times were not too bad, but I was hot and thirsty!  I think that the only thing that improved was my runner's tan.

I considered walking because of the heat, but fortunately talked myself out of it ... and here I am happy that the run ... the horrible run is over ... but I did it ... 

Summer Running Streak

I was catching up on my blogs and was reading Tina's blog CNC and she was speaking of Runner's World Summer Running Streak ... it entails running at least one mile a day from Memorial Day until Independence Day ...  I am already nervous as I have two tradeshows back to back in June ... 

However I am in ... though it changes my half training I figured I could train Dante where my training does not call for running ...

My Intentions

So lets see how I am doing in my new intentions:

1. #photoaday (-4)

2. #plankaday Streak #1

3. exercise streak #1

4. #RWRunStreak #1

So not too bad! ... a dopo ... J
