Afraid of Not Running

Uncategorized

FacebookTweetPin
3 Nov

I am afraid of not running. This morning I was on the fence about yoga versus running for today’s exercise. I could have taken a yoga class at 7am this morning, but I wouldn’t be able to run. I was afraid to not run so I decided to run an easy 3 miles in the morning and go to a Yoga class after work today. So, I get both! But, it is kind of tragic that I feel like I need to run. I am an addict.

After my 3 miler I came back and stretched a bit while watching a infomercial about SodaStream. I want one so bad! SodaStream people are you listening? Any machines that you need to get off your hands?

I made pumpkin oat bran for breakfast. IMG_2182For some reason it was merely okay. I think I just wasn’t feeling it this morning. I am in a breakfast rut. Nothing sounds good when I go to eat so I just end up making an old stand-by and don’t enjoy it. I’m going to brainstorm some new ideas today so this doesn’t happen again tomorrow.

I am very excited about Yoga today! I am going to try Yoga 2, so I hope it’s not too tough!

THIS IS YOUR YEAR.

      now I know there’s less expensive seltzer-makers out there.

      …because I NEED one too.

      I know that when I’m running I’m always scared to stop or of not running because I hate how I feel when I get to the place where I’m not running at all.

      I agree about being afraid of not running. I feel like, when I wake up, if I don’t run my day won’t be as good, even though I don’t know what I have planned on doing anyway.
      I need to try brown sugar on oatmeal. I love how dark it gets when it melts

      Yeah, I can totally relate. It’s too bad that we can’t just enjoy our bodies and the movement they provide us with regardless of the form it comes in. Hope you are able to have fun at yoga 🙂 xoxo

      hope you get outta your breakfast rut soon! sometimes incorporating more fun foods (like chocolate chips!) into breakfast makes it fun & tasty. 🙂

      Not a runner myself so I can’t relate but I bet your appetite won’t be as ravenous on days that you don’t run so maybe that’s a good incentive for yoga or strength training? Or just run! I always say if you love any exercise that’s the one you’re going to stick to!

      I feel you on the breakfast issue, I give myself about 10 minutes to prep and eat my bfast at 6am so it’s hard coming up with new and exciting meals with very little time.

      I can’t believe I’m saying this, but I’m actually starting to crave running!! Never thought I’d say those words.

      I think it’s ok to be afraid of that! I haven’t ran in nearly three weeks, and I feel miserable. I want to run so much – but the pain is too much, so I’ve been sticking with yoga at night. I totally know how you feel!
