So- today I welcomed the new season with spending a little more time in bed (rest is important too!) then time with my hubby and our neighbor watching the football game. I managed to get a little work done after a delish lunch, then cranked out my Insanity Asylum workout- today was Vertical Plyo. Whew! I brought it today!
After the workout I threw together a new Shakeology mixture and stuck it in the fridge so I would know it awaited me after my run.
Fall is a time of year when there are tons of running events to partake in and so I am dedicating this post to my love of running. Read on, read on...
Running is a passion of mine. I loved it when I started because I never thought I could run a mile, let alone THREE! I loved it as I built up my mileage and challenged myself to a 5K, then an 8K, then a 10K, then a half and shortly after a full marathon. I stayed with mary's for a while then pushed on to a 50K (The Northface Endurance Series). I had the most wonderful experience on that run...
For the past 9-10 years as I have played in the land of the runner, I have had my ups and downs. Ran streaks of over a year, taken breaks for over a month, inspired my sister and mom to run, gotten some friends running, and even injured myself by pushing too hard, too fast...but, I always come back to it. I love it. I follow blogs about runners and read magazines about running...I use it to unwind, challenge myself, spend time with those I love, and it is who I am.
So, for those of you who love the run as much as I do...or even if you are not a runner but play around with the idea in your head, here are a few Go-To running resources that may suit you.
