💬 Friday Thread: How is your running/fitness going?
Good morning, everyone! ☀️ As of today, spring is officially here! (Can you believe it?)
To kick us off this morning, I thought I’d ask a question I ask occasionally, but I always love because I feel like we’re one big group, out there doing our individual things, and this gives us a chance to come together, even if it’s only virtually.
So, how is your running going so far this year? Have you accomplished anything you’re particularly proud of, whether it’s a new distance, a new time, or something really cool/fun?
Is there anything you’re struggling with, that you might need help with? There are so many knowledgeable people here in our group, I know either me or someone else will have wisdom and advice to share.
I’ll chime in too in the comments, but I always love to hear from you — so, how are things going for you, in fitness, running and health?
Howdy! I’m en route to Charleston SC to run the Fox Swamp half marathon. Super excited for this beautiful trail run! State #31 and I can’t wait to explore Charleston too.
For the first time ever, I did Dry January and, with two half-marathons coming up in April, have kept that going. It wasn't my intention to give up beer long-term, but I think it's definitely had a positive effect (unsurprisingly) on my training. Certainly early morning runs are easier and I've even lost a few pounds, which is helpful now that I'm in my 50s and carrying around more than I used to.
