Day of rest and a big choice.
So after running for the last 6 days I declared today my day of rest and it felt great. I sat around lazily quilting and playing with my baby. It was a really great day. Tomorrow will be a nice run in the am during Lillian’s morning nap and then kickboxing in the evening. I’m seriously looking forward to it. Kickboxing is a nice change of pace, though there were only 4 people in class on Monday so I hope that there are more tomorrow.
So now I have made another big decision. My two girlfriends who were going to run the September race with me have backed out. One of them can’t go because her husband has to go to a stag party and she has to be home with the dog and baby. The other one hurt her back and doesn’t know if she’ll be able to complete the run. So now if I want to run the race I’ll be doing it solo which kinda sucks but I think I may still do it. I’ve been training for weeks and feel that I am ready but still feel sad that I’ll be doing it alone. My hubby offered to come with me the day of so him and my baby will be waiting for me at the finish line and that is what I should focus on. So here’s to training for a great run in less than a month!
I think you should do it, and focus on your gorgeous family at the finish line. You’ve worked so hard – it’s amazing! You’re an inspiration to us newbie runners 🙂
