\"\"<\/a> My running mojo has not been around for quite some time. She’s curled up in bed with the covers over her head and she doesn’t want to come out.<\/p>\n

It’s been a rough year for me in regards to running. \u00a0Ever since the dog bite last December<\/a> and this hip injury<\/a> that I’ve been trying to work through all. year. long. \u00a0Running and I have become distant.<\/p>\n

Our relationship isn’t what it used to be. \u00a0In fact, I’m not even excited to see it anymore and this is not okay.<\/p>\n

I love running. \u00a0Running makes me happy, running kicks my ass while also making that ass look awesome.<\/p>\n

Running makes my body strong and shapes my muscles.<\/p>\n

When I started running three years ago, I ran every day. \u00a0Every day, no matter what, unless the weather was super bad outside. \u00a0I knew that if I didn’t do it everyday that my motivation would eventually decrease and I would be back at square one.<\/p>\n

I also know that it takes time to accept and get used to a new routine. \u00a0So I ran everyday.<\/p>\n

I miss running and I miss having that relationship with running. \u00a0My running mojo needs to get the hell out of bed and get to work.<\/p>\n

I’ve decided that I’m going to start the new year off right and am declaring January to be Running January Month<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

If you’ve ever heard runners talk about streaking, Running January is based on that concept.<\/p>\n

For Running January:<\/strong><\/p>\n

I will run at least 6 days a week as long as the weather permits. January is rough in Ohio so as long as it’s not raining, super windy, or icy, I’ll be out running.<\/strong><\/p>\n

I’m not running for distance or looking for a set mileage per week. \u00a0Since I’m still dealing with this hip issue, my miles at this point are low. \u00a0This is the perfect time for me to do this challenge.<\/p>\n

It doesn’t matter how many miles I run each day, just as long as I get out and do something. \u00a0Even if it’s a mile, that is better than nothing.<\/p>\n

I want to feel strong again while I run. \u00a0I want my muscles to go back to being more defined and look like they get worked. \u00a0I want to feel like I accomplished something that day. \u00a0I want to feel good!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>I want to be this girl again. \u00a0The one that’s strong. \u00a0The one that can run without thinking about it. \u00a0The one that loves running.<\/p>\n

If you want to join me for Run January, I would love that! Or if you want to make a challenge of your own for January, let me know what you’re planning!<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
