The run felt good and I am getting more and more excited to train up for the half marathon as the first stage in a series of successive build-ups. I haven't been running with much purpose for the past 4 months and have really noticed the changes to my fitness level and in the shape of my body. But this hasn't bothered me as I purposely took some off during these dark winter months as a way to re-energize before starting a new year of focused surges. Its the old two-steps-forward, one-step-back approach with the dead of winter being a very, very large step back. I relish the experience of watching your body transform as it gets stronger and leaner and fitter. This weekend was officially the start of surge 1.
More power to you, Stepha, if you are running in order to delay starting other things, as most of us tend to do the other things to avoid running! From my perspective your priorities are right on. The engagement with the outdoors and moving the bod will be super supportive of the other things you need to do. Plus, your writing gives us a major nudge and wakes up the love of moving around outdoors.
ReplyDeleteThe photo of the morning street and the hills (!) beyond: just wonderful.
