Running in the Sun and the Rain...

I don't know about you, but if your from my neck of the woods...Ontario,Canada you might of noticed it's been a very cool spring and lately quite wet.
It's always good to be prepared for your hour work-out!

The thing is it isn't really that cold out, but the chill is in the air. I love running in the cool weather, but it is best to dress in layers.

• windbreaker
• long sleeve (if really cool)
• short sleeve
• shorts
• rain pants

Start peeling things off as you warm up. I would not venture on putting the winter coat, although sometimes in the mornings it has been close to zero. Once you start to warm up, you will find yourself taking some stuff off.

So today was an interesting run for me... It was cold and rainy and was hard to get myself out there. There are days that I have planned on going out and I feel as though I could crawl right back into bed. But... I made promises to myself and one of my promises was to keep to my schedule. I am excited to see some changes in my fitness and I can feel them starting.

Remember you can avoid,

• Injury
• fatigue
• boredom
• etc, etc, etc...

...and stick to a program here and you won't have to feel any of these feelings.

Follow your heart not your mind, listen to your body and not your mind. Your mind would have you running around in circles if it could, so when you feel pain or discomfort go do what you feel is best for your body.
We are learning well, but not ready to run a marathon yet!

*When you run you set your goals every week and you hope that you can reach them. Some day, your goal might be to run a marathon. Wouldn't it be nice to see what this is all about? You might really enjoy having this as a long term goal. It is good to have this kind of information, even if you are just starting out!*
