I haven’t written in awhile and the main reason is that
since the Pittsburgh Marathon in May, I haven’t been able to get into a running
our workout routine.
I’m sure some of
you can relate.
After thinking about it
the last few days, I thought I should probably write about the fact that I’m
having a hard time committing to and sticking to a running -- since I shared my
runs and training with you, I can also share the struggle to
(excuse the pun) get up and running.
I know that there are two factors that are keeping me from
running and working out.
1.
1. Time (busy, busy – BUZY)
2.
2. Energy (lazy, lazy – LAZY)
I really know we all say it, but I’ve been so busy the last
two weeks and it’s been difficult to find the time. Living in New York City - the City lifestyle sometimes gets hectic. I am REALLY not complaining, but the last two week has been out the door at 8:00am and back hopme at 10pm.
This next week will be different and I know I
can fit a few runs and once I start am hoping I just kick into a routine.
The energy part is well, a nice way of saying that I am
feeling really lazy right now. The heat
isn’t helping, but I am sleeping in and pressing that snooze button on a
regular basis and I’ve walked right by the gym a few times without even feeling
guilty about not working out. I have a
choice, either stay on the couch or get up and run, the couch wins every time.
The next half marathon that I am “committed” to doing is “The
Diva” in Long Island. My co-worker
Cynthia has been running and getting ready and if I would even think about not
showing up, she would literally kill me.
I am more afraid of Cynthia than I am running a slow pace in a marathon.
I told another friend this week, just register, it helps to
motivate you. I need to register and am
committing to you , RIGHT NOW, RIGHT HERE to register by August 17th.
My plan for tomorrow is to get up early to beat the heat –
and do a full loop in Central Park, (to and from total 7.5 mile run). That was also my plan last week and – well that
didn’t happen...
So email me, call me, text me, facebook me – send smoke
signals, let me know how your training is going. If you’re in New York, maybe we can make a
running date !
Hope you all are well, let’s get this party started !
See you in the Park !
Love Y'all
Stephanie
