I accepted the challenge of posting a picture every day at the beginning of the year. I did this to motivate me to blog more. I did well for a while. Then I started slipping. Oops.
I am not willing to give up, so I will continue. It may not be every day and that's ok. I settled that matter a while ago. I resolved to continue to blog regularly and not feel defeated, even if I didn't post daily.
Now I need a plan. Enough of this stream of consciousness stuff. I need more organization than that. Those who know me well, know that this is true.
What's my plan? My plan is to blog about why it is that I run. Novel thought, considering the name of my blog is Reluctant Marathoner! Here we go...
I am a marathoner and I continue to train for various reasons, many, if not all of which I will share with you as time goes on and provides an opportunity. Today, I'll share my picture from my run this morning.
Let me begin by saying that it was a tough morning to run here in the South. The temperature was 82 degrees with 90% humidity. Yes, you could say it is hot. But, today is Wednesday and every Wednesday I run with one of my running buddies. So, off we go, enjoying the morning and we get to one of my favorite spots along the way - this bridge pictured above. There sit three dogs. One is sprawled out in the middle and they're just staring at us. I have a habit of taking pictures of the wildlife we come across on our runs, but this is the only "wildlife" that was out today.
On our way back, they were gone, so I do hope they found their way back home to some nice cool water and some shade. I know I did!
Why did I run today? Because I was meeting a friend to run and sometimes that's what gets me up and going. That's one of the many advantages of having a running buddy. If you don't have one, get one!
