Monday's Motivation

 

Why do you lace up?

 

I began lacing up to get fit. I made a bet with myself that I could run to the end of the road, I did. Then I ran around the corner. And then to the next driveway. One day at a time, one step at a time. I went from casual runner to taking it and myself a little more seriously because a day without lacing up sucks. I mean really sucks. I lace up because

I love the solitude when I run, I definitely like running solo





I love to have the time to think

I love being healthy

I can plot out a scene in the novel I'm writing

I can improve my focus

I like to compete with myself, "yes, I can make it to the next light"

I enjoy the conversations I have with myself

I can work through a problem, a feeling, an issue

I rehearse a conversation I need to have

I love the healthy glow my skin has after a run

I love the shape my legs have become

etc etc etc

 

Now why do you lace up?
