Day 74: Let's Boogie
I used to be a regular runner. Like, get up at 4:30 a.m. and meet a friend for an 8 or 10 mile run kinda runner.
Like, ran 15 half marathons and even more 5ks.
Running got me into the Healthy Living Blogs family, a group that met up annually for a conference in cool places like Boston and Chicago (and ran races together while we were there).
Over time, I transitioned to walking. Running was a big part of my 20s and my single life (pre-marriage). I got to a point where I didn't want to leave home/bed at 4:30 a.m. because I wanted snuggles instead. I got used to walking at lunch and teaching my classes after work.
On the treadmill, I'll still walk/run which is a style I prefer from just running or just walking. I'll watch show, walk during the show, and increase the speed to run during commercials (side note: commercials for streaming services are getting so much longer, what's up with that?!).
I haven't had the itch to run a race in awhile. But there's a local race at a farm that I love and we have a great community that can do it together. That's what these events are all about, really!
So, get ready to see Team FWA at the Godfrey's Farm Blueberry Boogie 5k. I can't wait! Join our team here.
WOD: 2 mile walk, 45 minute Pilates/Barre class
