I’m running a 5k in five weeks. Training starts tomorrow. I have been trying to get back into running, but to no avail. I will run everyday for two or three weeks, then get busy and stop for a week or two, at which point I’ve lost the base I’ve started to build up.
This time I have a concrete goal. I have already signed up for a 5k and have a motivation partner at work. We are going to check in with each other everyday about how our training is going.
I know I could run a 5k today, but I would be slow. The real impetus behind this goal is to get me to run for 5 weeks straight without quitting. That will be a huge feat for me.
