After years of working out off and on (fortunately more "ons" than "offs"), I've decided that this is just the thing to get me motivated and moving: the Turkey Trot. It's a 5K on Thanksgiving Day. Drew and I have just registered, and I've roped at least one family member into joining us.
I ran a couple 5Ks in Minnesota, but none since moving to California. I enjoy running (I really mean jogging) and I do it here and there, but I haven't run consistently since the summer of 2006 in Minnesota. I check out issues of Runner's World from the public library in the hopes that I'll be motivated to run. Sometimes it works, but more often it does not.
So now I have a clear goal, but perhaps more importantly, I've forked over $30 for a registration fee. I have a training program and I started it yesterday. Already, it feels good. I harbor no grand expectations for race day. My only goal is the same one I've had for the previous 5Ks: jog the entire way, no matter how slow.
