Resolution Run: 3 Reasons I’m Lacing ‘Em Up

Life — 21 December 2010

I’ve decided to run on New Year’s Day in the Atlanta Track Club’s 2011 Resolution Run. Three reasons swayed me to lace up my running kicks and give it a go.

It starts at NOON. Not to sound trifling here but the night before is New Year’s Eve. That means some beer or champagne can be consumed in moderation and I can still get up to run. Ahem.

I’m suffering from race WITHDRAWAL. This is a no-brainer. I LOVE doing races – this is a race. Enough said. Oh, it definitely helps that several of my Get Fit Atlanta people will be running and lunching afterwards. It’s always fun to run with friends.

Running is a PRIORITY for me in 2011. I’m still working on my 2011 goals but running is an essential part of my plans. I’m officially hooked and see no better way than to start the year off doing something fun, that’s good for me, and that I LOVE to do.

Did I mention it starts at noon?

A noon start means a late wake up.

Brilliant!

I'm running this one too. If I see you this time I will say hi.

I ran this race in 2008 and 2009 and only didn't run this year because I had just had a baby in Sept and was very out of shape. It doesn't have a really inspiring course but the race itself sets the tone for my racing year.

I'm telling myself that this will be my slowest 10K this year – I'm only planning to get faster from here on out!
