School is back in session, and you can smell the pumkin spice lattes making their way back to coffee stands everywhere. After running a half marathon last year ,and training to do my first full marathon at the end of this year, I still don't know how my mom,or other runners for that matter do it. No two runs are the same. There are days I think , I got this, I can go for miles. There are other days I think Scott owes me a cookie for having me run when I'd rather be doing something else, like watching television. (At least when I am on the gym treadmill I can do both,right? Lol) I have felt like quitting on several occasions because I still don't consider myself an athlete because I am not my mom who has placed in marathons ,and runs every chance she gets. Or like Scott, who is a gym trainer, who can do all the ab exercises in the Rocky movies. I have wondered if I could really commit to it time wise, financially-ect. I only signed up to do the half marathon last year , and lost all the weight I did, because my mom gave me the push to get started on both of those things.
I just run however long I can, when I can. Today I plan to run after dinner since I had to work in the morning. Yesterday, I went to bodypump,a full body strength training class at my gym for some resistance training while Scott trained one of his clients.
But maybe it's not about trying to be like Scott or my mom.
Maybe it's just about doing the best you can no matter what in my running, and every aspect of my life.
At least if nothing else, I know there will be pancakes after I try, and I will try for pancakes.
mmm pancakes. :0)
