ran begrudgingly
Tuesday, 07 September 2010 - Written by strutton1313 [profile]
Well I got up this morning and went and ran but man did I have a bad attitude. The weather didnt help humid misthing rain and very dark. I should have felt better considering that I took the whole holiday weekend off, but I didnt. During my warm up run I was complaining to myself so much that I started to sound like the kid from the Shel Silverstein poem that didnt want to go to school. My anchles ache, my chest is congested, I have a headache, Im hungery. Finally I just decided to quit whinning and run. Today was my hill day. I usually go over the hill and back 6 times for 5.25 miles but this morning I actually got cut short by lightning. Didnt want to be on the only hill for miles around after it started lighting up the sky. I did 4 complete repeats. I maintained an 8:06 min/mile and felt great when I finished. I think I won that mental wrestling match. I hope the rest of the week goes easier. Hope all have a great run and a great day.

Those runs suck, but way to go! I always say to myself "once I am done running, I will feel so much better" and I always do--
