It's the little things that make a big difference!
Take today for example. It was minus two with freezing fog, with no promise of it warming up. I had a run of around 6 to 7 miles scheduled. Cue Lu wandering round the house trying to find anything to distract her enough to not have to get out of the door! It wasn't one of those runs that I could avoid either - my Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday runs are currently set back-to-back-to-back to build fatigue-resistance into my legs. What was it that got me out for that run, and made me continue through the miles with ice in my eyelashes, eyebrows and hair? Raw dedication to my training schedule? Nope. A need to prove something to myself or someone else? Nope. It was the promise of the 'award' set out above! I have subscribed to Run The Year 2016 and my running miles are logged through their system online. A quick check of my mileage log this morning showed me that, provided I managed 6.6 miles today, I would get my first milestone award of 100 miles today... So 6.6 miles it was! I know, I know, I have the inner psyche of a five year old! But it got me out of the door and round my scheduled run... :-)
