2019.11.13 - Trust the run
I run most miles on trails and this early heavy snow had me feeling down today as I opted for the road. As usual, all worries about weather, my route and motivation evaporated as I got into the rhythm of the run. The snow under foot made me forget there was a road under there as the whole world turned into a trail! The moral of the story, always trust the run, not your attitude or motivation, just get your butt out that door and the run will take care of the rest!
Keep the faith,
Randy Step, an admitted obsessed runner who admits to continuing to being a clueless idiot when it comes to how I feel about going out that door ... A doubting Thomas.
PS: Spice up the winter run with a trip to downtown Dexter for a silly hilly run or walk at the Holiday Hustle! Hit the streets for 5K or 1 mile of festive fun. Cozy beanies to all entrants, fun medals to all finishers. Be there on Saturday evening, December 14th!
2019-10-31 - Ugly running days
November weather is usually consistent - Consistently MISERABLE! It's time to go easy on ourselves but a goal of getting out the door at a minimum of every other day is in order so we will be in shape to eat Turkey and survive the holiday parties coming at us. No mileage goal needed, once you get out the door that part works out fine, just get out the door. Remember, all runs are good runs once they are over! Yes, I do repeat the important stuff!
Pull em' on, lace em up, and you know what,
Randy Step, an admitted obsessed runner. An often wet, cold and stumbling through the dark runner but always happy I got out the door.
