Run

I run...
a lot...
It's the single, most-best loved thing I do FOR ME.

Sometimes I run solo...


More often, I run with friends...


Sometimes I do crazy races...




But all in all, the same result...I run because I love it.
I run because I can.
I can't think of any one thing I would rather do for myself.
It's mine.
It's mine to enjoy alone.
It's mine to share with others.
It's just mine...all mine.
Selfish? Maybe...
Get it?
Why do you run?

What Was I Thinking???

I like a challenge...
Okay, major understatement!
I LOVE a challenge...
I love a challenge with competition...
So today I started (thanks to G over at nofsahmof3) "The Ab Gauntlet Part II"
Tony and I will have our "date" for 15 minutes a day, 4 times a week plus one dedicated cross-train (no run) day.
Good. I like it.
Check.
I ALSO joined another challenge...The 90 Day Challenge...starts Monday, June 6th and ends Monday, September 5th, 5 mandatory workout days a week.
Good. I like this too.
Check.
I have committed to 3 days a week (M,W,F) with Next Level Fitness AND 4 run days a week (one double for 5 total runs) with HCB!
Somewhere amid all of this I have to start swimming at least 2 times a week and cycling 2-3 times a week.
I think I might be insane, but I really am not at all freaked out about it.
Lately I have been feeling, well, in a word...GREAT!
I say that with caution because I have an inner voice that reminds me everyday that I am only human and that "things" happen,
I promise to put my home life first.
My job is stressful.
I won't compromise quality for quantity.
AND I won't give less than 110% at anything I do.
All I can say at this point is...What was I thinking?
Hang on, it's gonna be a crazy ride!
