Running to Key West
I'm dusting off my running shoes and becoming a runner again. It's been just over a year since I've run with any sort of regularity or enthusiasm, and that's sad. At first I had some legitimate excuses...snowmageddon, feet too swollen to fit into any shoes, taking care of a newborn...but then it just became a habit not to run. So today I get back on track and reclaim my identity as a runner. I'm excited about getting fit and being healthy, but I also need a little extra motivation, which is why I'll be using travel as an incentive.
No, not all at once or even all by myself. My mom, sister, Chris, and I are going to add up all the miles we run until they total the distance from home to Key West. Then we'll reward ourselves with a flight there! In case you're curious, it's 1173 miles. Yikes! Did I mention that is is a long term goal? I'm envisioning Key West being especially delightful in January or February. Sooner than that would be great too! Here's where we stand so far.

ahhh - Key West... hands down one of the best vacations Brian & I have ever taken. That's a fun way to achieve that vacation goal! Good Luck :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks! We've never been, but are excited about the idea!
ReplyDeleteI'm following you blog! :-) and impressed by your goal. I was never able to get back into running after Will was born. My husband Rich, on the other hand, hadn't run for 5 years and on his first day back ran 4 miles. It was maddening! But I swim now instead and really enjoy it.
ReplyDeleteGreat idea! Good luck!
