Happy Tuesday! Thank you for joining me and Jenn. Remember to link up with us. Visit at least two of the other linked posts – the more the merrier! Remember to come back for later linkers.
This week has been warm here, but I know Fall is around the corner. I am looking forward to the cooler weather and the colors of the leaves. My hot flashes aren’t that bad in the Fall so that is another thing to look forward to.
Here are my plans for this Fall.
• Continue walking. I enjoy my walks. I want to do a better job of doing my walk in the morning before going to work. There have been a few times that I skip them due to time constraints and then I have to get it done after work. After work I want to cuddle with my cats and read my book.
• Begin to run again. I’ve been slacking the past couple of weeks. I need a goal and a plan. I need some motivation too, but hopefully I’ll get motivated when I have a goal and a plan.
• Use the Peloton bike. I’ve been using it again to hold my clothes. I know, no bueno.
• Run a race. My last race was July 4th. But before I run a race, I have to start running again.
• Strength train. It is the same song here. I am making it more difficult than it is. I have the tools and the time. I know I can start with something “easy” (kettlebells, dumbbells, medicine ball, squats, etc).
Next week is a FREE topic. Feel free to write about any running-related topic. We hope you’ll link up with us!
We all lack a bit of motivation now and then.
Just yesterday I was having a hard time to motivate myself for track work (5 x 1km hard with walking breaks). In the end, I just told myself not to overthink it. Just get out the door and do ONE interval.
When I had done one, I told myself to do a second, then I could go home.
You know how the story ends – in the end I did all 5.
The hardest part is starting! You’ve got this, Zenaida!
What Catrina said. It’s hard to start. But I’m confident you will get back out there.
I’m struggling to run more than a minute. But I have races so I just have to push myself to walk.
