It's My Running Payday!

We all deserve a reward for making a healthy lifestyle a priority. Read about how I compensate myself for running.

Once again, it’s that time of year, Peeps-- Running Payday!

This is the time where I tally up my miles, my running miles, and my PRs and I PAY MYSELF FOR THEM!!! This is how it works:

I pay myself $.50/running mile, $1.00/racing mile, and $5.00/PR. The catch is that I deduct all racing fees and babysitting fees for racing. The good news is that I didn’t need a babysitter this year because my kids are finally old enough to watch themselves. Envy me, mothers of young kids.
