Running everyday in August
I was searching for a new fitness goal and decided to run, at least a mile or so, everyday in August. I completed my goal and encourage others to give it a try. Below is a list of Pros and Cons from my experience:
Pros:
- feeling healthy on a daily basis
- getting more fresh air than normal
- having something interesting to talk about
- lost 3 lbs
- bought new running shoes
- plowed through some of those podcasts I wished I had more time to listen to
Cons:
- legs, especially my knees, were sore a few days and I knew I should’ve rested but instead I ran
- my normal runs became shorter (averaging 2.5 miles), no long runs in August
This challenge was a great lesson in “glass 1/2 empty, glass 1/2 full” thinking. You have to approach everyday with the right attitude. Either it’s “This sucks, I am so busy and there is no way I can go for a run” or this “I’m sorry, I can’t meet you for drinks after work. I am trying to run everyday in August and have to get my run in, you understand right?”
I recommend this challenge for anyone, runner or non-runner. It’s a great way to turn just another normal month into something more.
