Back to the Grind

Yes, it's that time...time to start putting the feet to pavement again. I haven't been running as much lately, mostly weightlifting, and with the beautiful fall season coming quickly on California's Central Coast, it seems like a great opportunity to get back to the push.

Although David and I have been jogging regularly (we have some awesome trails close to our house where Jax can be off leash), neither of us have been pushing for distance or speed. I saw the following article today and it helped jump-start the motivation for the return to running (erhm, not to mention that someone has a marathon in April...ahem, David that's you)! We'll be doing the Firefly 5k in a couple of weeks - mostly just for fun. One of our dear friends Kacie will be running it with us as her first race ever! We're so proud of her and know it takes courage to just say "I'll try." As my dad once told me, if you don't get it started, you'll never get it finished.

If you also need a little motivation, take a look at these cool races. What a fun way to enjoy a good run with friends!

Love to Live. Live to Love.
