Things are looking up...

Just a post to say it's been a great day for motivation. I've been having a lot of gremlins kicking around the past few months as I've been trying to sort out a good balance between lifting weights, running and other activities. Been stuck at the 5 k or under mark and have been hoping to build back up to 10+ again super slowly to avoid injury again but didn't have the oomph to start increasing distance - I've been going too hard with my runs and losing all my momentum in under 5k. I'm happy to say my slow run today was great - I'm out in the mountains for a couple days which is good for the runner's soul (see the snap from my morning run). A change of scenery can mean everything. On the other motivating front, registration for next June's 8 mile cinnamon bun run opens tomorrow. Training starts now :). Happy running folks!!

Ah, it makes running easier. If you're ever in this neck of the woods....

Oh wow. That scenery might have me pausing to drink it in! Where is it? Canada obviously but exactly?

[runswithdogs Graduate in reply to turnturtle]

Canmore Alberta. If you're ever in the area, I'll host a run. One hour from home

You're on. It's gone onto my bucket list!

My bucket list too !

[runswithdogs Graduate in reply to nhs2015]

Maybe we need NHS couch to 5k running destination holidays. I'd love to run in the UK or Australia.

Oh my word ! With scenery like that and a run called 'Cinnamon bun run' to look forward to you have no excuses. Feeling envious !

[Tomas Graduate]

Oh wow! Runnig somewhere like that is guaranteed to bring back motivation. Enjoy it to its fullest, and well done for signing up to the 8 miler so you have a goal to aim for.
