Happy Earth Day!

We have been having some really crummy weather lately.  I don’t want to run in the rain, unless it is for a race.  So I have been sticking to the treadmill.

But that is getting boring.  It is fine on the short runs, but I really can’t stand looking at the elliptical machines for an hour or longer.  Plus I have been having a harder time wanting to run at night.  I have a ton of stuff to get done, and really the only time is at night after the boys go to bed.

So last night I had a great idea.  I would take the boys to the sitter on Tues & Thurs early, go for a run and then go to work.

And this morning the clouds parted and the sun was shinning so I did a quick two-mile run outside!  We have some great trails around where I live, so I stopped on the way home.

 

 

It was beautiful, and just cold enough to cool me down but not freeze me.

I am not really falling behind in my training, but I am not advancing either.  I am hoping this new schedule will allow me to get more runs as well as doing at least one long run a week.

And each week that run will get longer and longer….

 

Just. Keep. Running.
