Cookies, snacks, dinners, candy, chocolate, more cookies, restaurants, etc... - It's hard staying on task during this time of the year. I didn't feel much like running this morning but am so glad I did. I ran a 5 miler and averaged 8:56 miles. Slowly building up that speed on the long runs and although I'm burning calories to eat calories during this season, I'm feeling pretty good about the progress I've made so far. Once January hits, I'll focus more on diet too - then lookout because I should really see the speed increase.
I'm running a 6 miler with my friend Elise on Saturday. She's never ran more than 5 miles before, so I'm excited to help motivate her in achieving this new milestone! It's an incredible feeling when you push yourself to go that "extra mile" and you feel like you can push past any barriers in your life!
