Today it is raining...again. It is also in the 50's which is quite cold for this time of year. I am thankful I bought my summer gym membership since on days like this I know I would be convincing myself it is too yucky outside to get exercise!
Here I am a few weeks ago with my sweetie Charles at a local air show. We have known each other since 10th grade when we met and started dating. We dated until right before the end of 11th grade when my family moved to Utah for a few years. Years...lots of years later we got back in touch and here we are today...thankful he accepts me for who I am and I love that he supports my quest to become a runner!
So this is what I do to keep myself motivated to hit the gym in the morning. I set out my clothes, shoes and gym towel each night so I am ready to jump out of bed...ok crawl out of bed & get ready.
I bought a few of these magazines...one before I actually started running to keep me inspired. There is an Ipod there, but I don't use that right now. I use my iPhone and listen to Spotify radio during my runs.
Since I am still working on getting my out of shape legs toned, I was getting tired of them rubbing against each other...I found this stuff and thought I'd give it a try. It works pretty good. I tend to get down about my poor untoned legs, but I can see the changes already & that is keeping me going!!
My buddy, Nala, she is the most flexible thing...I am pretty jealous :)
Tomorrow I will begin week 9 of my couch to 10K program....40 minutes of running. I have never run that long in one day...ever. This is pretty exciting for me to know that I am making my body do things it has never done before :)
