Why I Ran A 5K This Morning

As I proceeded to create my running photo for this morning, after taking my traditional selfie, I began thinking about how I really want to frame beyond just the obvious health benefits. Since I was blessed to make a trip last year to Africa I have photos that can tell way more of the story than a few of my words. This village in Sierra Leone had a hole in the ground, dried up in this photo, about a mile away to gather water from. This village also had a school of children. This village was in dire need for the sort of well that helps to put in all across Africa. This is what means to me, what my commitment is about. My drive comes from wanting to see these children grow up knowing that there is hope for a better future.

Another day of enjoying the warmer outside weather. My pace has significantly increased and the last 2 days I’ve done a standard run with no intervals. Well actually, I was doing a Ghost Run, which the whole purpose is to best you’re previous time. I’m very happy with my progress however the question still remains for me, “What is my goal?”. My plan right now is to run the 5/3 Riverbank Run coming up this Spring. Since I’m already running a 5K at each workout then perhaps working on my time is where I should be focusing my attention. I still think I want to do the Grand Rapids Half Marathon this fall so I will need to do serious training for that distance. I…
