Like many of you know I have started running. And I am proud to say I have made it to week 6!! Hooray for me, I can now run for a solid 9 mins! This sounds lame I know, but for me this is huge. I started out at only being able to run for 3 mins so this is progress. But now I am in need of a little motivation.
I started out with a short term goal of making it to the Turkey Trot 4 mile run Thanksgiving day. If I made it to this then I could get a new running outfit, sounded really nice at first because I found some cute running gear. But now the thought is fading and I am okay running in old sweats and random Noni shirts.
So here are my goals:
- Turkey Trot Nov. 27th
- Moab Half Marathon Mar. 21
What should be my reward or motivation? What do you people do to keep going? Oh, and I am also in need of some new music to run to, any suggestions?

That is awsome! I do not think I could run even 3 mins if I ever decided to get off my lazy crack! I enjoy my soaps and bonbon's way to much!!!!
Can't go wrong w/ some Black Eye Peas or Fergie, Gwen is great and some Neyo. Dan and I are thinking of doing a Turkey Trot ourselves. Too bad I'll have to do it in a snow suit. Keep up the good work.
Kirsti I just have to say YOU GO GIRL! I really think you should let me make you a CD of great songs. Anything you don't like? As far as motivation goes, can't help except for the music thing, it's motivation for me.
What was week 5? Run 9 Walk 1??
I think your motivation should be a massage at a nice spa and a pedicure.
Way to go!!! Treat yourself to some new tennis shoes after you do the run. Then you can break them in for your half marathon. Keep it up!!
Watch a movie about running. I.E. Chariots of Fire. Then download the soundtrack. Very motivational. Way to go! I love running!
While Alli says treat yourself to some new shoes I say reward yourself with a nice bowl of ice cream. Nelly always gets me going when I run :) After nine minutes I am shaking a little more than my tail feather. My whole body is shaking.
