This lovely necklace came my way about a month ago courtesy of a great giveaway from Marcia at The Studly Runner (aka Running Off at the Mouth).
Since I received the necklace from Nana’s Jewelry, it’s been sitting in the box it came in on a shelf in my closet — put aside until the 10k training I was currently in was complete.
Well, the 10k is done and in the books. So on this first day of a new month, it seemed like a good time to bring it out. It may sound corny, but this little necklace will serve as a great reminder and motivator for the journey I’m about to embark on. I’m so excited to go after this goal!
I’ve decided to treat this week as kind of a step back week — a chance to get my half training plan finalized and give my angry left knee a little break. So I did an easy run of 3 today, and plan to get in some strength training, yoga and couple more easy runs during the rest of this week. Then it will be time to go after my new target…time for another first! I can’t wait to get started!
what half are you training for? good luck!
Not corny at all. Reminders and ‘tokens’ are a big part of the journey for me. Kinda like not buying a ‘26.2’ magnet for my truck until I crossed the finish line. Always good to have motivation for the next race, and reward yourself for the last one. Best of luck with your training. Hope your knee feels better.
It is great to take a little (well deserved) break before you train for your half…love the necklace!!!
What half are you running?
OK ignore my question cause I’m a moron!!! Right after I hit send I remembered having the conversation with you about Providence! DUH!
Too funny Nancy – yep doing Providence but my first will be Boston’s Run to Remember. Have you run that one?
I love that necklace!
