Tuesday, Spin Class
Wednesday-Group run fail
How is it Wednesday already? This week is flying by and that is great because we are heading to Traverse City this weekend for a snowshoe 5k race! I’m counting down the days and staying busy.
My second week of swim class took us to the lap pool. My form is getting a lot better, but I still feel very winded after 1 or 2 laps. More practice I guess!
Tonight, I went to meet the Elite Feet group run and no one in my pace range showed up! It was dark out, so I chickened out of running alone. I decided to make an impromptu rest day out of it. The hardest part of a run is getting ready and out the door, so I was a little disappointed. I will be back next week!
Speaking of motivation, reader Susan asked about ways to stay motivated to exercise when working a full time job. I wish this was an easy answer, and that there was an easy way to achieve highly motivated status. I believe motivation is like rolling hills. I find myself highly motivated for a few weeks, and then less motivated for a time. Here are a few strategies I use when I’m struggling to get out the door.
Here are a few recent food pictures! Delicious homemade sushi by Kevin, and vegetarian stuffed grape leaves from Anita’s Kitchen in Ferndale.
Check back soon for a post about foam-rolling!
How do you stay motivated to meet your fitness goals?
Oh sushi mmmm looks amazing and never tried making it myself yet! ill be coming next wed to the group run. yay its a first! Even though I did see you fly by me at the poho race, (great job btw!) what pace you run the group run at?!
Hi!
Great job running Poho!
That is awesome that you want to come on Wednesday! We usually get a good mix of paces (except for last week). I like to run with anyone in the 9:00-10:00 minute/mile pace range. I’m always looking to run with new people though, so I’m willing to run any pace (besides under 8:30
Now that its blistering cold I’m thinking I might not make it
boo guess I’m just a good ol toasty warm treadmill runner. lol
Hey! No worries, I didn’t go either. The cold sucks! I’m going to try for this week. Maybe I will see you there.
