Spring is on the horizon! So far, at least on the east coast, we have been spoiled this winter…(sure hope I haven’t jinxed our good luck by speaking too soon).
The unseasonably high temperatures and limited snowfall have allowed many of us to run outdoors without the slip-sliding and teeth-chattering we have come to expect from a Maritime winter. If nothing else it’s been liberating just being able to run with 3 layers instead of the usual 4 or 5. Yes; we are truly spoiled!
At any rate I hope everyone has had an opportunity to enjoy the outdoors this winter while keeping up their running and training routines.
Do you have a spring race mind? Have you registered for it yet?
Now is the perfect time to identify your goals, establish a realistic training plan and COMMIT…the three essentials to whet your motivation. Better yet; why not make the decision to share your hopes and dreams with others; it will lay the foundation for personal accountability; and, if you’re lucky it may even motivate others to lace up as well…who knows…they may even lace-up to run and train with you?
Now IS the time!
Training programs, Running Clinics and Charitable Organizations are rolling out their wares for the 2012 race season. It’s the runner’s trifecta; three opportunities to engage just about every runner’s interests…to work towards a goal race with “likeminded” others and/or participate in a clinic to fine-tune individual performance…there’s even an opportunity to run and train to help others.
Like I said; it’s time to “Run for One & Run for All…!”
Please feel free to post your comments; we’d love to hear about what drives you to be at your best.
Run Strong: It’s Your Time!
