Best of Intentions

Intentions....I've had the best of them this week, but guess how many miles I ran between Monday and Friday?  Did you guess zero???  Correct answer!! :(

I ran 6.1 miles on Sunday, November 4th.  That was a nice run!  However, I had a fairly large cramp in my left calf near the end of that run.  So I wanted to wait a few days.  Thursday would be the day for my next run....for sure!

Thursday came around....um, it was snowing!!  I could have ran on our treadmill, but sitting on my couch, eating dinner, and relaxing ended up being the way I spent my evening.

Here we are now....Today is just a lazy Saturday.  My kids are gone for the weekend, my husband needed to sleep this morning, and I was free to do whatever I desired.  As I woke up, I thought...I'm going to get up, get dressed, and run this morning.  It wasn't that easy.  I did get up, but instead of going straight out for a run, I made coffee, had breakfast, and watched a little TV.

Then the little voice in my head started nagging at me....get up Denise!!  It's not that cold outside! It's not snowing.  It's not raining.  Go run!!

So that is what I did.  I went out and did a nice 3.4 mile loop.  It wasn't easy to get motivated this week, but I did it.  That is the most important part.  The run felt good and now I have the satisfaction of completing a run today.  I like this feeling!

I have intentions to run again tomorrow and Monday.  We'll see how it goes :)

13.8 of 500 miles down!!
