It’s not about running; it’s about starting- this blog if you are wondering. It’s been a few minutes, and a lot has happened, but I will start again and see where this goes.
Why did it stop? I lost interest and lacked feedback, and the pup and I finished the virtual race. We came in 11th place, which ain’t bad. If I had to boil it down to one thing, there was not as much motivation to continue after the race was complete. It seems that Mrs and I have similar motivations, or at least it shows that it can be hard to move forward without a goal.
So today, my Garmin ran out of power about 15 minutes into the new start, so I have no metrics. That is probably a good thing, but we did a run-walk around the default lap from the house, which is a little over a mile. It was a good start. Let’s see if we can keep going. The pup does not mind; she is always up for a romp around the block.
In short, throughout the silence, we finished the virtual race and ran a couple of half-marathons at Disneyland and Disney World. I hurt my foot, but it got better. I am in the same physical state as when I started writing last year. A few months older, none the wiser, but here we go.
Oh, and I swapped coffee for tea…
