Lately, I've been collecting. New recipes, friends, running friends, shoes and and more skipped runs. The food and friends? Delightful, all is a great time for both--don't you just love pumpkins and apples?
About those skipped runs? It's bad.
It looks like when life is giving me more of everything, I tend to get off track. It's part of my old pattern. Reviewing the past couple of weeks, I see that I've been running with people more but overall running much less!
Argh! I attribute this to old dabbler tendencies. I allow the focus of running to change, the wind in my hair and generally good post-run feelings stop being enough. Instead, I start planning runs around other people and using a missed connection or time conflict to skip a run. Well, it's time to change that.
In the past month, I've with someone else almost everytime. Not only does this change my pace, it makes it more difficult to get to running. I have a lovely park one minute from my front door, no injuries and no excuses. Yet...I'm slacking off!
I've decided to change all that. My plan? Get back on track, run more and keep the friends. And the food. I see more solo runs in my future and more food. Will keep you posted...
