I saw this graphic on Pinterest yesterday and thought it completely summed up where I’m at with my running lately. Last week I wrote about my funning escapades because currently I’m in between goals. I have a half marathon coming up in January at Disney that I’m using as a gauge of my fitness level and speed right now. It’s not a goal race, just a “let’s see where I’m at race.” Yesterday, I signed up for my spring goal race, the St. Luke’s Half Marathon in April. I haven’t set a time goal for that yet but I’m using this in between time to mentally rehab and just have fun running. This past weekend I had the most peaceful and fun run yet, running through a local state park during a snow storm. It was total bliss. Being in between goals right now has been fun and while I’m ready to get back to training a little harder, it’s sometimes nice to stop and catch the snowflakes. Happy running this week!

I love this! It is so true. We have to let life in and also remind ourselves why we love to run! Good luck at Disney and in April! xo
That is So true. Sometimes you just have to run just because! Good luck at the disney half in Jan! I’ll be running there in Feb!
I love running in the snow! I totally know what you mean when you say it’s bliss. Good luck with all the half marathons!
After finishing New York I wanted to jump right back into training. Now though I’m really enjoying not having anything on the calendar and having the freedom to do whatever I want. All the snow PA’s been getting is definitely helping too
what a great quote!
HA! Hannah, I’m kitchen finishing up my grading. It’s 12 degrees and snowing outside. I have done my three mile walk EVERY DAY for the past month, even in the blistering cold–this was my goal and I have developed that love for the air and movement that you’re talking about! But I’m wondering if I can just take this one day off! Thanks for giving me permission. Maybe I’ll just do a quick one today.
Love love love it!
