Let’s go over a list of 30 day running challenges!

Anyone else in a running slump?

Or even just trying to run regularly, but struggling to stay motivated?

This spring, something happened to me that hasn’t happened too often: I got injured.

If you haven’t experienced it, plantar fasciitis is a real pain in the butt. The lingering foot pain meant I had to take time off.

Not only did this destroy my exercise habits, it also completely zapped my running motivation. I’ve been seriously struggling to get it back, even now that my foot is fine.

When faced with slumps like this in the past, I’d often sign up for a race; there’s nothing like good ole’ racing fear to motivate you into shape.

But with quarantine, that’s not exactly an option. It’s looking like most races are getting cancelled through the rest of 2020.

So I began looking for a new motivator and have found a pretty compelling one: running challenges!

When most of us think of spring cleaning, we envision going through old clothes and knick knacks. Personally, I imagine emptying my pantry of old baking ingredients and pulling boxes of junk from my closet depths.

Spring cleaning can apply to many different parts of our homes – and many different parts of our lives.

To me, spring cleaning is like coming out of winter hibernation. Over the cold season, we’ve stocked up on stale crackers and plain cans of soup. We’ve nestled into our cozy homes – but let them become so cluttered with things we don’t need in the process. They’re no longer benefiting us as much as they should.

It’s time to step out into the fresh air and sunshine. Spring cleaning is the perfect opportunity to figure out what’s working for us…and what’s not.

I don’t know about you, but I love a good pair of workout clothes. Honestly, I could wear them all the time (and kinda do).

When working out, a chic outfit makes me feel strong, empowered, and to put it simply: it makes me feel badass.

Certain types of workout clothes make all the difference during a workout. I’ve noticed they make me feel more motivated and inspired to push myself. It’s like I’m suited up, training to be a hardcore female lead in an action film.

It all depends on the color, fit, and print of the clothes. And how they’re paired with other pieces.
