Struggling to run…

Since finishing the Goofy Challenge on January 8th I have only run a handful of times. Let’s not beat around the bush - my daily mile account says I’ve run a total of 91 miles in 2012

91!

40 of those miles were during the Goofy.

I have all the best intentions - setting my alarm at 5:00am to run a 5 or 10k before work so I can still go to CrossFit in the evening.

That doesn’t work.

I have come to rely on excuses. We’ve all been there… “It’s raining” it’s cold” “I don’t feel well” etc etc.

Things need to change.

It’s 91 days until the Chicago Marathon - Humm! Coincidence??

Today I needed a kick start. So I signed up for a 10k race next Wednesday. My first repeat race. The Thames 10k, last year I did this in a time of 50:20 so I guess this will be a good indication of where I currently stand compared to last years prep for Berlin.

I’m asking you, Tumblr, to give me help, support and accountability for which I know is what Tumblr and the community that exists here is all about.

That is all I ask.
