The Runs

Since I've started running everyday as part of my commitment to SELF, I feel amazing. When I was training for the Around the Bay last year, I was running, at most, 50 kilometres a week. Well, that's not entirely true...

I was
supposed to be running that much, but I was enamored with Someone New, so I was rarely doing long runs of the 25 kilometre variety. Anyway, my point is, I was running quite a few kms every week, with my long runs (the longest one I ever did was 18 kms...way to train! That's why I know all about the importance of training) occurring on Sundays.

But here's something really neat: my regular run is and always has been 6 kilometres long. Anything less than that feels like I'm not doing enough (plus, I never really get warm enough in winter); anything more and I have to go to bed by 9. At this rate, I'm running 42 kms a week!

Obeying doctor's orders and running daily,
hitting 42 kms of pavement a week,
AND feeling flexible, agile, and rested?
Happiness abounds :)


You know how that makes me feel? Like this!
