Day 80 - I run everyday!

I thought I'd write about running everyday. Some people ask me why I run everyday, some say ' hey I didn't see your post today, did you run?' , some say ' shouldn't you have a rest day'! - There are 2 reasons why I run everyday! One is that, in the training program I'm following in Fred Lebow' s book ' Complete Book of Running & Fitness' it has a sure fire proof plan on how to run a 3:30-4:00 marathon runner at a 10K race pace and if these guys have done it than I can too! The second reason is that, mentally I just can't miss a day, if I let myself miss one day, I leave room to let myself miss another and so on and I will get off course. (I proved that last time I got off track a few weeks ago) So the moral of the story is to make sure I run everyday. Today was a weird day, I got up late having worked late last night so I was tiered. I would of had to push Sophie in the stroller 6 miles and just the thought of doing the run and then pushing 50lbs on top of that was not comforting. So I finally crawled out the door at 6:30pm when Dan took Sophie to Isabelle's soccer game. Oh yes, I had an hour to myself. For all you mothers out there, take the time for you!! It's so worth it. So just to confirm, if you don't see my posts everyday, don't fret!! I am still running everyday no fail! I've just let myself off the hook about writing everyday. It's not easy to get time alone at the computer....if you know what I mean :) To all you followers out there, reach out and touch base. I love hearing from you. :)
