We were out for 3kms again today but this time, we ran 2kms straight and then walked the last km. This was better than what we could do just two days ago so we considered it a pretty great success. There were high-fives a-plenty as we rewarded ourselves with coffee (Adam) and a big glass of orange juice (me).
Although we've only been out twice, running as a couple has been amazing. Truth be told, I wanted to quit at 1.5kms but Adam pushed me to go just that little bit further to the 2km mark. Not only are we proving to be good motivators for each other, but its been a fun way to spend our time together. So far, anyway.
We're thinking tomorrow will be another day of rest and then back at it Tuesday, when our goal is to be out for 4kms -- 3kms of that running.
For those of you that might not already know, we have added a fundraising component to our run. We are raising money for United Way of Burlington and Greater Hamilton, and have set a family fundraising goal of $1000. You can help us to reach this goal by going here:
