To Run or not to Run

That has been the question. I used to run (a lot), races and everything. Then I changed jobs and I didn't run (at all). In October of last year I decided to start to run again. I didn't start slow, I jumped right in to my old 10 km base type of runs. And....

I got hurt. I damaged my entheses (where your tendon inserts into your foot). After crutches, physio therapy and many months I am getting that old familiar itch again.

I am going to sign up for this race:

It is the Color Me Rad race and it is coming to Vancouver in September. It is only 5 km and I have more than enough time to s-l-o-w-l-y build up my base again.

So excited to get colour bombed!

Fun While You Run

I'm not there yet but I can tell it's coming. My runs are becoming more enjoyable in large part to Gabi. I used to love running on my own but I think that was because I didn't have the right running partner.

I don't skip runs when I know she is waiting for me and I am able to push myself further. On Saturday we did 8km and it was easier than I was expecting. A pit stop for a photo op helped too!
