One of the most difficult things for me about running this time of year is the time change. Not to mention the holiday madness.
We live in a community that has no street lights. I hate the treadmill. And hate may be an understatement. So finding the time to run and run safely becomes more and more difficult this time of year. I really love running in overcast and cold, so that is a plus.
I have been currently running during what is considered lunch time. This helps keep me on track in two capacities. I am able to log my miles, be more focused, get more sleep and eat less overall. So right now I see this as a great way to log my winter miles.
For those of you out there....what are your tricks to staying on track with your running goals during the winter/holiday season?

I hate the treadmill too, I used to run in the evenings but it gets dark so early and it's so cold that I try to run during the heat of the day now. Of course, beggars can't be choosers, so I run whenever my husband can watch the kids for me. Right now my husband works half days so I ran today at 11 am, after Christmas I'll probably start running in the mornings when it's ridiculously cold because that'll be the only time I have.
ReplyDeleteThe weather has been pretty pleasant this week so I'm working really hard at my training. If I take a day off now then it'll seem like a waste so that keeps me working hard and on track.
