A Stunning Day for a Run {Actifit}

Well I finally knocked out my first run of the new year! At least I got it in within the first week. 😉 We had a bit of a soggy week again, but my goodness was today stunning! There was no way I wasn't going to lace up and go enjoy the sunshine. Plus I had to break in my new t-shirt rocking the plant-based lifestyle.

My legs were quite a bit fatigued after working out yesterday morning with the Saturday class at work. I may not be running as much lately, but I've still been kicking butt in my other workouts! I knew it wasn't going to be a fast run, but I felt good enough to get some solid miles under my feet. I started looking up 2019 races today to be able to work on a running plan. As much as I enjoy just getting out and running, I'm finally really getting the itch to work on some new goals.

I will definitely do a 5k in early March, which means I definitely need to start bringing back in more speed work. There's a half marathon at the end of May in the northern part of the state that looks like it might be a good one to sign up for. It's small and all on a paved greenway, so no cars! I like the idea of trying a different course. I have a little more research to do, but I will commit to at least one half this year as I have come to enjoy training for that distance more.

Besides enjoying the miles today, I also enjoyed the flowers. We have a few bushes in the yard that bloom in the winter. One is well in bloom, and another just starting to bud.

It looks like the next few days are going to be pretty nice, as well. I'm going to do my best to enjoy it before winter weather comes back to stay. Tomorrow may be a rest day, but perhaps Tuesday will be a good day for speed! 🏃‍♀️
