Excuses

I am so good at making excuses! This morning when my alarm went off at 6 for me to go running,  I immediately thought of like 20,000 excuses to hit snooze and keep sleeping.  But I didn't.  I dragged my lazy bum out of bed and went for a long hilly walk.  Also took a picture of myself to prove I was up before the sun.

I've been running with the Columbus Road Runners three times a week, doing the Couch to 5K program.  My first 5K is next week.  Yikes!  I have never run that far in my life.  I'm gonna make it though.  Nat and Nate are running with me.

Those runs aren't quite enough to help me meet my fitness goals, so I've added daily early morning workouts to my routine.  After only two mornings, I already have more energy, am happier, and am more motivated than I've been in long long time.

The moral of this story is...don't let your lazy self take over your determined self.  The determined you will rock your world!

  1. YES! good work! i swear, early morning workouts are the very best. they keep me moving throughout the day, and I always feel so much healthier. the days i wait until the afternoon or evening to exercise, there is a very clear difference.

    keep it up! your 5k is going to be awesome!

  2. If I were there I would come to your race with a giant fluorescent glittery sign and cheer until my voice was hoarse. And then I'd probably cry. I know! I don't know why, but races get me so choked up. Hopefully I'll be able to do the next race with Matt.
    Also, I love myself a little harder when I wake up at 5 for those spin classes. It's nice.
    Go Erin!
