Love this! I decided to try on something new last year. In looking at my running history/habits a pattern emerged: Train, run race, stop running. Repeat. I wanted this time to be different. I wanted to be a runner who occasionally trained for races, but my ultimate goal was to continue running beyond the race. And since I had a marathon scheduled I knew I had to finish really strong to be motivated to continue (unlike my 1st which ended with - wow! I just did that!! NEVER AGAIN 😂😂) Now, signing up for some fall & spring races helped with that endeavor, but now here we are. What gets me out the door is that I’m a runner, it’s what I do!

What motivates me during all this covid is my fitness app. I had a fitness age of 20. Now with gyms closed it crept up to 31. So I started increasing my running to 3 days a week, cycling at least 20 to 30 miles once a week and open water swimming twice a week. I just started the increase a week ago. My fitness as gd has dropped to 29. So I will keep it up and get back to a fitness age of 20. I am 62 years old.

Hi, Terrell,I want you to know that since the quarantine, I've been delighted to run more frequently, and to be part of this group. I'm looking forward to continue in the training for the half this fall. Previously I knew a few friends who ran that I would see at various races. We were not really "in touch " when it came to training for races.

The book from Mark Cucuzzella, Run for Your Life, has been teaching me so much about muscles, feet muscles and the practice of minimal shoes. This practice has helped reduce the sort of regular knee injuries I've experienced for quite some time. Gotta shout out a big Thank You, and see you on tomorrow's run!!!😍🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️
