So, I slacked this weekend. I just got back to going to the gym after 3 days off. It's certainly an internal battle to get yourself up and get workout clothes on and drive oneself to the gym. But, I know it will be worth it, and I have to be diligent about getting there almost everyday.
This is also my week to schedule my 5K. I was beginning to think, if I don't find a 5K that works within the parameters of my project, I could always map out my own run around Ithaca. The 5K will be cold but it won't be much different from wherever I find a race. This idea came to my mind because although spending money on running a race is no problem, I might as well save where I can considering college will be here in 6 months. Also, running the 10K at the 16 week mark will be a lot more enjoyable in Ithaca, with all the trails open and the warm weather. I've become quite nostalgic the past few months. My parents have raised me in a culturally diverse part of upstate New York, and I'm only realizing now almost at 18, how much I will miss this place. So, I feel like mapping out my own runs will be ways for me to spend quality alone time in the place that I've known for the past 18 years. Almost like a tribute for myself, which sounds corny but I don't really care.
Also, I meet with my trainer this week for our first session, and I think he will give me "homework"(workouts to do when we aren't meeting) which will encourage me to make it to the gym more often. All in all, I'm still psyched for this!
