Today was an off day, so MB and I walked three miles this evening, instead of running. (We were supposed to take the day off, but we both felt like we needed to keep the workout mojo going, so off we went for an hour.)
I don’t know if anyone cares about these pages except me, but I finally updated the Goals, Schedule and Races pages.
Looking at all of that stuff has got me so motivated. I’m remembering what it was like when I did this before, way back when. Being interested and motivated in something healthy rather than eating all of the time. It’s good to be back.
Of course, the part that isn’t good is how I want to go spend money on running stuff. I go back to work a week from tomorrow and judging by my mood, I’m going to need it so that I can pay for stuff.
Seen in the past few days that I want:
New treadmill at Costco. It has an MP3 jack and built-in speakers. Want! - $800.
New Garmin: Depending on the model - $114 - $350.
New shoes - okay, this one is really kind of a more of a “need” than a want, if I want my feet to love me - $75-$125.
Race fees - $25 for now, more coming in the Summer.
Running pants: $25 for the ones I like.
Athletic Socks: Of course, I am in LOVE with the $8.00 Bolgas.
It can be a cheap sport, if you run on the roads in shorts and a T-shirt and don’t worry about being kind to your feet.
I, of course, can’t do it that way! Must have toys, gadgets and clothes that are comfy.
Well, I’ll get it eventually.
