No ...It's not that I want to run without music. No indeed. It's just that I haven't broken down/coughed up the money for an ipod or tried to fix my radio.<br /><br />So belly dancing, eh? <br /><br />BethAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4134186790049291620.post-76835526713653287872010-02-15T19:40:08.207-08:002010-02-15T19:40:08.207-08:00I'll fight you for the title of biggest on-off...I'll fight you for the title of biggest on-off runner! :) Actually, I might be more off-on-off, i.e. a teensy bit more off than on. But I'm liking the new run/walk stuff that's happening. And you're right - peer pressure does work. If everyone weren't signing up for races, I probably wouldn't be running. And I do like to be a part of it with folks, and I know it's good for me. But I still maintain that I'd like belly dancing more. :) <br /><br />I still remember watching you cross the finish line after your triathlon. I CANNOT believe that you run without music. That deserves double points!(In)Sanity Galhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10101157897014200996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4134186790049291620.post-1780570291829140312010-02-15T12:51:14.765-08:002010-02-15T12:51:14.765-08:00Congrats on signing up for the race.
I think I a...Congrats on signing up for the race. <br /><br />I think I am the biggest on-off runner that ever existed. I get pumped, I get excited, and off I go. Then some weeks later--a winter storm comes through, I catch a cold or am sick--and I'm off again. (Admittedly I'm better staying 'on' in Spring and Summer.) 2010 came and I was out there 4 days a week, had even built myself back up to somewhere between 3-4 miles (6 is the most I've ever run). And I have no music system to run to (my radio is so old it just transmits static) so that meant I was extra proud of my fantastic start to 2010. Then classes started and that's when my running stopped. Then the snow came (and is due again tomorrow).<br /><br />I like how I feel running and how I feel about being a runner (actually slow jogger is a more accurate term). So why am I always off-on? This has been true since my senior year in college (I still have that poster from the triathlon somewhere). And then I hear the tales of my friends pounding the pavement and that usually gets me back 'on' again. Peer pressure works. But I ask myself the same question--why do I need peer pressure to do something that I like?<br /><br />ps. One other big motivator for me: spring weather. Here's to an early spring!<br /><br />BethAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
