Value Your Runs

A short and simple phrase that says A LOT! 

If you look up the word value you will get a definition that says "worth".....meaning YOUR WORK (workouts) have worth!!!!  And they do!!! 

Each week I get text from several of yall.  My favorite text are the ones that have emoticons because usually the runner is super excited about a new achievement.....like an awesome pace or a new long distance.  And sometimes I get text telling me it was HARD or it was a STRUGGLE. 

But guess what? Whether that run was easy or hard.....it has VALUE because YOU ARE DOING IT!!! There are no bad runs girls.  Each workout has VALUE:-). 

And a little FYI---if it was a difficult run, that usually means you have a big achievement around the corner.  Don't let a tired run fool you or discourage you....because if you get back out there and try it again, 9 times out of 10, the next time it will be doable and sometimes even EASY!!

Let's celebrate our mileage, ladies!
Think back in January.  We did a run/walk for 25minutes on January 3rd.
Morgan- ran 2.25/walked 100m
Krista-just over 2 miles/walked 100m (and a bathroom break-haha)
Becky-1.5/walked just shy of .5miles
Shelley-just shy of 2.50/ walked 100m
Wendy-just over 1.25/walked 700m
Marty-just shy of 2.50/walked 100m
Lee-just shy of 1.50/walked 700m

Two and a half months later:
Shelley is running 4miles nonstop.
Wendy is running 5.5miles nonstop.
Angel is running 8miles or 7miles nonstop.
Krista can run a half marathon (13.1miles).  :-).
And I just completed my first 16miler.

Value your work!  Celebrate your mileage!!! You are doing it! And you are doing it well!!!
