I signed up for a 5K in October! It's the 5K that benefits doggos and where humans can run with their dogs. I hope some of the dogs will ask for pets. I wonder how many dogs are going to complete the 5K faster than me.
This will help me with motivation to keep running in the evenings, and in particular, running longer distances. I'm going to go out for a run tonight. It stormed earlier, so I hope that the sidewalks are mostly dry by the time I go out.
I know that strength training is also important to mix in with running practice, but I still don't feel super confident with how to strength train. I can pick up weights in different ways, sure, but I'm never too sure how heavy the weights should be or how many reps I should do or if my form is good or if I'm targetting all the right muscles. I'll keep following youtube videos and hopefully build up more intuition for it.
