Just move on. That's what I'm telling myself I have to do. I was planning to do a half mary this Saturday, but the excuses just kept coming. I think warmer weather will help. What am I saying?

I've talked about doing a 10K this summer and a half in the fall, but I haven't put my fingers through the paces of actually hitting those important buttons on the keyboard to make the committment to do the events. Guess I know what my job is before I call it a night! Good luck resisting the pull of the Goo!Briannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04641147724155240676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1851544089340059791.post-7781489106675872782008-03-26T19:59:00.000-07:002008-03-26T19:59:00.000-07:00I am terrible without a carrot, too.

After my half, my mileage dwindled away and I decided I better get something on the calendar fast. I'm here for ya!! <BR/><BR/>I'm probably running a 10k on Sunday. You can run it with me in spirit if you want and we can see who is really slower :DNancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14684236668997938263noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1851544089340059791.post-62228864936650178042008-03-26T17:08:00.000-07:002008-03-26T17:08:00.000-07:00I think I might be able to make it on Saturday.

I took about 2.5 months off and still don't see the digits I had before I dropped running for those months, so take it from me - you don't want to loose what you have gained. I know you don't and that's why you're reaching out. That's fantastic!!!!<BR/><BR/>I have to HAVE an event that's up next. My schedule is jam packed with events so this year, no slowing down. It's motivated me on days I didn't want to do anything but knew I needed to.Mendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00968363500551483010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1851544089340059791.post-45689379842627162082008-03-26T15:30:00.000-07:002008-03-26T15:30:00.000-07:00Why not the summer 5K series? :>DSee ya Saturday!...Why not the summer 5K series? :>D<BR/><BR/>See ya Saturday!J~Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05801414494327642020noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1851544089340059791.post-38130190929656565232008-03-26T14:58:00.000-07:002008-03-26T14:58:00.000-07:00I hope the running buds pull through for ya this w...I hope the running buds pull through for ya this weekend!
