So the experiment began as an attempt to convert the emotional trauma associated with the phrase "shall I go for a run today?" to the surprisingly far less emotionally turbulent "where and when am I running today?"
A New Year requires a new mindset, and 2009 is no different. My brother's idea was to run a significant amount, set at 3 miles, each day throughout January, and, being his sister, I thought this was a fabulous idea.
My aims at the outset were to lose the 'guilt' associated with trying to cram another run into the week. I love running, for many reasons and yet it seems to have become a rather poor cousin to me, in that it keeps me relatively fit, destressed, allows me to go 'wow' on cold frosty days or gaze at eagles circling above parks or woods, and yet I have managed to box it into the 'personal indulgence' box of my life. I think this needs to end, and I think this might be a way to ease that process on.
So how did it go . . . . . .
