This week is my stepback week, back off on my week’s total mileage and then start increasing my total mileage again next week. It was supposed to be last week but I decided with the 5K this weekend I’d move it to this week so that I could be a little more rested for it, not worry about getting in the rest of my mileage this weekend, and it simply made more sense.

I’ve noticed at times that I’ve been somewhat down on myself for where I am, so I thought I’d also use this week to ’step back’ and look at what I’ve accomplished. Running is a new sport for me, and it has taken some adjustment to ‘get’ what it is all about. Coming from a swimming background there were some paradigm shifts that needed to get made, and I think that is coming along.

Six months ago I made the commitment to be healthier and that started with quitting smoking (which I now can’t even believe I ever did). I started really working towards a goal running wise a couple of months ago. I’m proud that I have stuck with it and I can see myself improving every week.

I’m going to keep working towards my goals and think that maybe I’ll make a reflection of where I am a regular part of my stepback weeks.
