Are We Really Runners Now?

I had someone email me the other day, wondering how they were doing compared to other people. Another women asked if they qualified as being a real runner ...yet.

First of all this is mostly a personal challenge, so that the run/walk that you do is really comparing yourself to 'YOU' yesterday. And...Do you qualify yourself as a runner? Of course you do, every step you take brings you closer to where you want to be. If you have consciously started a running program you are a runner!
A lot of people are logging their runs using log books and some of you are already past the 100k mark!
Congratulations!

You are going and getting what you want! Keep filling up those journals and making promises to yourself. It is great to see your own progress.
For the small amount of you that are in the Nike Challenge, (not the same as the 400Plus Challenge)keep going...
You might also be interested in joining other Nike Challenges. I have... It is all just fun!

* Do you have problems with making promises to yourself to work out?
Tip:

• At the top of your mirror draw 4 boxes with soap.
• Use marker to check those 4 boxes each time you run for that week.
• After the 4 boxes have been checked for the week, erase just the check marks and start again the next week.
• If you didn't get 4 boxes checked for your week, you know to do better the next week.
• Drawing the boxes on your mirror, forces you to take a daily look at what you need to do for the week.
• This is one time where it's OK to soap your mirrors!
