Where is my running mojo?

As you probably noticed, I have not talked about running in a LONG time. If you haven't noticed, well maybe you haven't been reading other 100 posts where I talked about running every day and how I used to live for running! (Go now, read them!!)

Yes, this was me around this time last year training for Around the Bay! 

For the past week or so, I have had a strong urge to run and I haven't. Why am I holding back?! I am not sure.... No races booked; maybe! No time; I have time but don't make it a priority! Feeling bad running instead of taking Penny for a run/walk... very guilty!

So, I decided that tomorrow morning, I will attempt a run. I am aiming for a 5K but I will see how I feel and go with the flow :) I am not expecting a miracle but I am hoping for a kick in the booty for moving forward with falling in love with running again!

To me running is like a love affair, I love how it makes me feel better, it relieves the stresses of a busy city life and I get to spend some time reflecting on life in general. I think A LOT when I run and I usually am a better person when I leave it all out there. (My husband could attest to that!)

So, for the month of February, I am setting a goal for myself to get back into running. With the trails that are waiting for me at the new house, I have 3 months to get back into it and then tackle those trails with all the passion I used to have :) I cannot wait to take out my Vibrams for a tour of our new neighborhood trails :)

These trails are calling my name! 

And the river, I can see this as my ice bath in the future :)

Let's start February the right way with a great run and some run-love throughout the month :)

Who's with me?

What activity have you moved to the side and used to love?
