It's the start of another week and we are that much closer to the hustle and bustle of the holiday season. I always find myself muttering the Monday Blah's but luckily they are generally over before my first cup of coffee :)
Today I am trying to come up with new ways to motivate myself. Running and maintaining a running program is my main goal right now but I know myself and can admit that I have to diversify in order to stay motivated and interested! I am thinking of adding in some
TRX workouts to the mix, at this point I need to find what's the best balance and not do the dreaded
too much, too soon routine! So now it comes down to the question of high reps/quick transitions to get through a whole body workout or concentrate on different body parts each day? I have always been a lover of each workout being dedicated to specific body parts, I don't know why but I tend to think it helps me focus. Regardless, adding in some different elements to my workouts will certainly help keep me motivated!
I am thinking of committing to the
Runner's World 2012 Holiday Running Streak .... you pledge to run 1 mile (minimum) per day between Thanksgiving (American of course) and New Year's Day. Probably more ambitious then I should be committing to but why not give it a whirl? I need to learn how to set goals instead of being afraid of not reaching them. Starting this Thursday I will run at least 1 mile a day .... there I said it. I will keep up with the running program suggested by J and then on rest days squeeze in a quick 1mile (and by quick I mean "my quick"!)
Feeling motivated already, Happy Monday!
Cheers,
K.
