Oakland Running Festival: part IV

Today was the 5th Anniversary of the Oakland Running Festival,  but my 4th time completing this event.  Each year the organizers get better and better. This event is picking up steam on the fun factor, too.  They've always offered a relay team to complete 13.1 and next year, I want in on a team!  They also added a 'we run Oakland' medal, which is the completion of the 5k and the half marathon. Leave it to my mom to take things to the next level, by completing both events.  I walked the 5k with my sister, Pam and friend, Lourdes.  We had a nice chat along the way.  After the walk, I went to church and was truly lifted. I'm so glad I did both events today.

Off track, again...

This maintaining a healthy lifestyle is no joke! I usually stay consistent for about a month or so and than I am off track. Depending upon what got me off track determines how long I stay there.  Lately, it's been the usual culprit.  Work!

I've made a small commitment to myself by working out for sure on my remote day and I've been doing well. Now I need to commit to 2-3 more days of doing the same. I keep gear and sneakers in the car so I have no excuse.  I think my next step is to add shower gear in to my bag in the event my workout takes place during my lunch break.  After all, I do have a gym facility at work.

Here's to new commitments!
