I haven't been very good at getting up to run. I have only gone once on Tuesday since Thursday last week and the treadmill today. I went on a weekend vacation and it threw me off my game.
So tonight I have mapped out a semi new map to run and bump up my 5.5 mile run to a 6.4 mile run. I am going to bed early and getting up early to run.
I am going to get ready to go to bed now.
I am determind to get up and do this!
:heart: :wink: :happy: :tongue: :drinker: :smooched: :sad: :bigsmile: :blushing: :huh:

    OK, it is 5:38 and I am up and just finish my energy bar thing for working out and getting ready to put on running clothes.
    I think this is the hardest part, but I am doing it.

    See you in about 1.5 hours

    We all have those days, weeks. Sounds like you have the motivation to do it so get out there and run run run. You CAN do it!

    I did it, I went the 6.4 miles and I ran at least 6.2 miles of it. Once I got going I only paused to take a sticker out of my sock, get a rock out of my shoe and kiss my husband as he stopped when he drove past me. I made him even though I was all sweatty.
    Yeah! I did it.
    Even before I got sick, the farthest I had gone was 5.5 miles. This is really a first. And it got really hot near the end. It was 80 when I got home.
    Thanks for the encouragement, I know I wouldn't have done this already without this site.
