Over the first couple of weeks of June, I keep thinking: THIS IS SO HARD. I realized earlier this week that I completely missed out on running in the heat and humidity last year. The transition to weather that feels like running through mud has been really difficult and I’ve had so many thoughts of giving up.
But I haven’t. And I’m not going to … and really, that’s all I have to say right now. I’m ready to move beyond this strange phase, but so much work remains on so many things, as I mentioned in a recent Instagram post:
A check-in on my goals:
BY THE END OF JUNE
🔲 Get my long run back to 6 miles
🔲 Develop a training plan for the Richmond Marathon (this is sort of done, and will be saved with some clarification in a future post)
🔲 Write 3 more blog entries (two to go!)
☑️ Run at the track
🔲 Complete 500 push-ups (pretty much on the right track for this)
🔲 Run 25 miles not at home (I won’t reveal my vacation plans, but this is a goal that is part of plans in June and July)
NEW AS OF THIS POST
🔲 Run at the track 3 times (this is definitely worthy of a blog post, too)
