There is a local musician that my daughter has seen a few times and he has as song that goes something like “run, run, run, run, we keep running” and lately I find myself getting the song stuck in my head. The thing is although it just becomes obnoxious and after the thousandth time of singing it to myself I’m screaming “GET THIS SONG OUT OF MY HEAD” (p.s. this is the only line of the song I know) I do find it is a constant reminder that I need to get get out and run and to keep on it.
I just started back up running consistently and I’m at that point where I am not yet in a routine so it doesn’t feel weird if I skip a run. I am working on changing that and now that I have a training schedule to follow I am finding the constant reminder a good thing. My training officially started last week and it is going well so far. I am starting out slow, no like real slow, but that’s okay because at least I am getting out there. I’m a week in and I’m already feeling stronger and excited to run. I’m three training runs down 47 to go!
Who else is training for a race? What keeps you motivated?
Great job! I don’t run much anymore but I have been on a new, totally unplanned training schedule the past month, and I love it. Keep it up!
They say it takes 21 days to make something a habit… you’re almost there!
Getting into a routine for any exercise–good for you for sticking with it!
keep it up! I love reading about your progress. It’s inspiring to me here at 4 weeks post Partum
Congrats!! Progress is going slowly but it is going. Best of luck on your postpartum journey.
