If I had a dollar for every time I've said "I need to do something to change this" over the last year, I'm pretty sure I'd have a good chunk of next month's mortgage. I have gotten entirely too complacent with my training - barely following a plan and settling for "good enough to get me through" for months and months on end.
Somthing's GOT TO change. SERIOUSLY. Time to buckle down and RUN.
I'm not big on follow through. I'm great with the grand ideas...that tend to fizzle out in execution.
So, when Runner's World posted their annual #RWRunStreak Challenge, I was tempted because it would be a great way to force myself to get back on some kind of plan - but, would I actually get past day 2 or 3?
Then a friend announced her commitment and she and I talked, and decided to be #StreakBuddies, so between the plan, the need to prove to myself that I can do it, the accountability of having a buddy, and the need to just do something, I think I've got my goal - and it's attainable.
The plan starts with a Turkey Trot today, Thanksgiving Day. So I'm toeing the line, literally, in downtown Austin for their annual 5-miler. Day one, check!
