One thing I’ll say about Florida, is that the weather here has really slowed me down. When it’s humid like it was today, I find myself taking a lot more walk breaks than I ever would. But as I found myself getting frustrated, I reminded myself that so many can’t even run a single mile anymore, and that I should be thankful for each step I take. So my new thought process is, “I no longer care about the pace I run, as long as I’m getting it done.” I’ll forever be thankful for the supplements I take, Novo Renew, that have afforded me the ability to keep moving.

Good thing for you Gasparilla runners this weekend:we’ve got a cold front coming through this weekend!!! Let me know if you’re running!!! I’ll cheer you on!
Are you currently training for anything? What is your favorite distance to run? Do you notice yourself slowing down as you age (or is it just me, haha!)?
Cheers!
Michelle
Movin' it with Michelle 
Not sure age is slowing my runs down that much. I was never particularly quick. I do take longer to recover from the big runs.

I’m hoping once I get back in shape I’ll gain a little speed back. I’ve never been considered fast, myself. But was a decent average pace runner lol

I came to that same realization the other day- forget pace and just be happy I’m able to get it fone

I’m definitely slowing down LOL. I actually stopped caring about pace for my easy runs a while ago. I found it really lets my body recover.

I really like your new thought process! I might steal it haha. Running hasn’t been as fun for me lately as it used to be, and I’m putting a lot of pressure on myself when it comes to my time and if I have to walk or not. Any advice on how to keep running fun or ways to change it up so I don’t dread every single run?

My best advice is just enjoy the moment. Not every run can be a good one, heck…I rarely have good ones anymore. But at the end of the day I am taking care of my body both physically and mentally, so I take each step as a gift. 🙂

Agree on the humidity, Michelle. I find it takes a full minute or more off my pace. Otherwise, enjoy FL.

I haven’t slowed down — yet (well, some days are slower than others, and I’m slower than most to begin with) — but it’s inevitable at some point.
Running in that heat & humidity — that’s super tough! And it makes you tough.

Thanks, Judy. I keep telling myself as long as I am out there, that’s all that matters.
