Well, it is official… I’ve started running again. As of twelve hours ago. I have always tried to stay active whether that be achieving step goals on my FitBit or participating in group exercise classes. But the last time I consistently stayed with a running plan? Probably high school. Back then I ran in cross country to stay fit, but I’ll have to admit, it was mostly just a social sport. Since then running hasn’t been at the top of my list for favourite things to do. So why, you may ask, am I starting to run again? Well, first of all, I miss the sense of accomplishment I feel after pushing myself through a run. Secondly, spring is here (even though it snowed this week), and I will take any excuse to spend time outdoors. And finally, a friend and I have signed up for a 5k at the end of May, and frankly, we don’t want to take last place!
