I decided to run a 1/2 marathon this year. Talking to my book club buddies I realized that what I'm doing is investing in my 80's. Every step I slowly jog today is an investment in being one of those sassy old ladies who still tool around the mall in their jogging suits.
It's not easy, it's only day 2. I have apps on my phone to help and am trying to keep it interesting to me. The ap I used today was 10k runner. This times out the run, and like so many others gives queues to run and when to walk. Now the walking wasn't bad, that I like. It's the running I don't like. Too much moves, too much shakes and it takes too long for it to stop when I finish running.
But that's just today, metaphorically. Tomorrow is actually a yoga day so no jiggling, but in the greater picture the next time I run, I know I can do a minute of anything, I will have less of me to move and never again will I run on January 14, 2014. Today is gone, no sense in dwelling on what I may have done better.
Mantra for tomorrow, invest in being 80. Get Moving!!!
