The Month the Running Stopped

Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

I haven’t run in over a month.

(hanging head in shame)

I am not going to be ready to run that half-marathon I’d planned to run on June 27th. At this point, I probably couldn’t even run a 5k.

So, why did I “give up”? Not because of an injury. It was more a lack of time. I didn’t have time to do my long runs. Then, I stopped doing my short runs because I wasn’t doing my long runs.

The first weekend, I didn’t run because I walked the MS Walk RI with my family.

The next weekend, I was at the Taj Boston Hotel doing a review.

Then we went to Walt Disney World over two weekends.

Then I gave up.

I’m still exercising daily, and I’m still on a diet. I’ve lost about five pounds, which is great. I’ve got another ten or so to go, but it’s a wonderful start.

I’m going to start running again. Maybe this week
