November Blues

November has been less focused than I had hoped it would be. Initially my plan was to complete the T25 program. But after 3 days, it was too much. I'd strained a calf muscle. My feet were killing me.  They were great workouts.  But they were killing me.

So I've been aimless these last two weeks. I've been active regularly, but without a program.  I've been doing more cardio. Spent more time on the elliptical, which I hadn't done in months. It was not easy.  I ran sprints for the first time in over a year. And I was more sore from 15 minutes of sprints than anything else yet.

Now all my friends and members in my virtual running club are posting pictures of these races they're finishing. 10k's. Half Marathons.  Body types of all shapes and sizes.  But they are accomplishing these monumental and impressive feats of distance. And it's inspiring. If they can do it, maybe I can too.

I'm not sure if that's my next training goal... But it's nice to feel inspired and hopeful.
