yes. really.

getting up at 5:30 this morning was hard... i so wanted to bury myself back into bed and not move. at all... but i booted myself out, because i have a race in just 2.5 weeks. and if that won't get me out of bed, then i don't know what will...


last year i was running more, and i loved how i felt. but then i took a hiatus. and now i'm trying to get back to where i was... the best way for me to do that is to register... it's the incentive i need...
but i'm not going crazy here. i'm only trying to add to my plate what i know i can stick with. but in order for me to fit in these runs during the week, i have to get up at 5:30. !!! so this is going to be my motto for now. i don't want to stress how much i do at each time... but as long as i do it, and continue to do it...


but right now i'm feeling better than i did when my alarm went off... because i did actually drag my butt out of bed... and now i can knit. right?

i realize today is the tttkal day... i still don't have pics for you, so that's on my list today too :)

i'd love to know what your day is looking like! come chat.. any inspirational tips for sticking to your goals? xo

  1. Wowza, good for you lady! <3
    I wish I could run but with my stupid hip I am not supposed to.

    I am going to knit later; I promised myself I would do some writing today :)

  2. Oh man, I wish I had the discipline and willpower to wake up that early to go for a run! I need to get back into running but my bad knee always takes me out after the second run...which sidelines me forever and then I'm back into the loop of not running, wanting to run, running twice, and repeat. :/ But I totally love that motto! Good luck with your race!! ♥

  3. Good for you! I took up running for the first time as an adult last year with two running clinics. Worked up to 10K and then stopped for six months. Started again in January, but only did it for two months. Watching the Times Colonist runners out my window a few weeks ago made me wish I hadn't stopped. When my husband returns from his out of town gig in mid-June, I hope to lace up again. It's so hard to restart, but so worth it!

    What's the race you're doing?

    1. for sure, it's definitely hard re-starting... i did the TC10k last year... and kind of wish i did it again this past race... oh well. i'm doing the goddess run again this year, and i'm seeing some more races i could register for in june and beyond :) i think just starting small, but staying consistant is important... you can always add distance once you're in the habit of getting out there, right? xoxo

  4. I'm with you ~ I run three times a week, always at 7:00am and I keep to a routine of 5k each time. I don't care about how fast I run but I do care that I get my butt out on the road. Kudos to you!!
