Running with Heart

Submitted by kristine on Fri, 01/20/2012 - 10:23

During a 13 mile run with my Galloway Cincinnati running group, I overheard a conversation that has changed the way I’m training and running. It was a tough Saturday long run, mainly due to the recent bout of anemia I was fighting. At the time, I didn’t know I was anemic, just thought running was getting harder when I thought it should be getting easier!

Pumping Iron

Christmas Eve morning. Weather was perfect for a 13 mile run and I was looking forward to burning up a few calories before the holiday feasting began. Unfortunately, even good weather, the company of my running friends and the promise of a 1,300 calorie burn wasn’t enough to make it a good run. It was bad. It was tough.

Frankly, it sucked.

No Resolutions

Last January one of my spiritual advisors asked me if I made resolutions. “Yes!” I enthusiastically replied, “but I don’t call them resolutions, they’re “goals”! I believed that setting goals was key to getting what I wanted out of life and becoming the woman I wanted to be. I explained my process…I wrote out a list of goals for the year that fell into four categories – health and fitness, financial, spiritual, and relationships.
