Time is rapidly approaching for the first race of the year. With 38 miles under my belt for the month of January and 365 road miles (since I started tracking) I feel I am completely ready for this couples 10K! 1 Week before Valentines day, There will be a Cupid combo Race, what better way to tell my wife that I love her than to complete this challenge together! It is bound to be great way to spend the morning.
I’d like to say that training for this race went as planned, but with the weather, treadmill running, and just plain being tired. I didn’t get as many miles in this month as I wanted to but, there is always next month!
Corey’s Money Tip: Your fun doesn’t need to put you in debt!
I recently read Ramit Sethi’s book “I will teach you to be rich” If you read my review on this book, then it is no surprise that I didn’t particularly care for some of the advice he gave. But I will admit, I did take something that he suggested to use. Ramit says you should put money aside to enjoy life now rather than later. Even Dave Ramsey suggests, that having “money to spend” as a line item on your budget is a good idea. As far as money goes, there is not need to go into debt in enjoy the things you love! What Michelline and I have done is set up a Racing Fund. An account (or an envelope) that we set money aside in, specifically for enjoying what is becoming our favorite pastime.
