On the Way

On The Way

For the past month I’ve been meeting in-person with a small running group. My guess is that most people who come to the workouts don’t consider themselves regular or consistent runners.

We’re 4 weeks in, and I can see the progress being made, and the confidence gained. Bottom line — people are running faster than they did a few short weeks ago. It’s a lot of fun. (Join us!)

But what are we working toward, exactly?

What is the goal?

Well, we don’t have one.

Goals generally motivate us to act, and believe me, I love goals. But the opposite idea - that without a goal we have no motivation - is actually damaging. Very often, it is action that leads to motivation.

We don’t need to have a destination in sight to keep going. In the words of Tank Sinatra - You don’t have to get “there.” It feels great to just be “on your way.”

Sincerely,
Nicole

Runner's Race Report

“You win or learn.”

There’s a catchphrase I’ve heard many times about racing. It means that even a bad race is still a valuable learning experience. But honestly - win or lose - we don’t automatically

Vacations and Your Training Plan

The training plan can always be flexible while on vacation. Actually doing the training matters a lot more than how or in what order we do the training.
