Since these morning runs will be longer than my typical morning jog, I had to get up a few minutes earlier. At the last minute, my plans to run after work turned into needing to run before work. The first day of a challenge is always a bit exciting and nervous all wrapped into one. I definitely lost steam and had to walk a bit. I went to bed not feeling good, so I didn’t run in the morning.Īfter work, I got an easy 5k run done before picking up my daughter from the bus, then had to wait a few minutes getting her ready before another 5k with her in the stroller.

The weather is cold, training is just kicking up a notch, and people aren’t ready to race outdoors yet.įor one of my challenges this year, I am doing the Des Linden running challenge that she did a year back. Do you know why? There are only 28 days, while every other month has at least 30.įebruary also happens to be a month in which running races are least likely to occur.
