Hello everyone,
I am happy to report that I am feeling much better and officially began my training today. According to the schedule I am using, I am supposed to run 3 miles tomorrow...but I did it today because I am in a wedding this weekend and won't have time to run later in the week.
Needless to say, after being sick and not running for a week...running 3 miles was hard. To be honest, I ran/walked the 3 miles. On my way home I was speed walking and a man ran past me and I was immediately motivated to pick up the speed...so I began running home. Before I saw the other runner, I decided that I was finished with the run and would just try to run longer tomorrow. Sometimes you just need that extra motivation. It is easy to let your head get in the way and tell you that you are tired...but keep on pushing through it.
One of my favorite phrases is from Tony Horton, creator of P90X..."Do your best and forget the rest"! I thought I was doing my best...but once I noticed the other runner, I knew that I needed to push harder. I must say...it feels great to be back on the wagon!
