Being in a long distance relationship, it is sometimes hard to find things that we can do "together". We tried to do Redbox and have a movie date night where we watched the same movie. . but then $1 turned into $8 from not returning them in time (me to blame)! That was counted out. . .We then tried having a set time where we knew we would stop what we were doing to have a phone date. But with different schedules. . different jobs. . and in different time zones.. . we had to deal with what we could get!
That's when we came up with something new we could try together. . . running. We may not run together, at the same time, in the same place, or the same distance/time. . but we motivate each other to run each day. Is this what you are thinking? . . . ;)
Week 1: Run 1 minute; walk 1 minute (repeat for 20 minutes)
Week 2: Run 2 minutes; walk 2 minutes (repeat for 20 minutes)
Week 3: Run 4 minutes; walk 2 minutes (do 5 times)
Week 4: Run 8 minutes; walk 3 minutes (do 3 times)
Week 5: Run 10 minutes; walk 3 minutes (do 3 times)
Week 6: Run 1 mile; walk 2 minutes (do 3 times)
Week 7: Run 1.5 miles; walk 2 minutes (repeat once)
Week 8: Run 2 miles; walk 2 minutes (repeat once)
Seems like a fun journey we can begin apart and in two weeks continue together! Woo!
Here is where I get to run daily:
Love running around this marina to the lighthouse on the waterway. Very peaceful and motivating.
Ryan's running path isn't too bad either:
This is the Greenway (13 miles of trail/path) that is literally our backyard. This path is just steps behind our apartment in TN. Spoiled? I say yes!
Who knows, maybe you will hear about us running one of the following:
Fourth of July Music City Run- 5K, July 4th
Diaper Dash- 5K, August 4th
It's Just a Run- 10K, August 4th
To be continued. . . ~Elizabeth and Ryan~
