Ok. If you haven't noticed the Pavement Pounding segment has mysteriously disappeared from any posts of the late. I could blame it on my bad memory or that I have just too many exciting posts to write but really there has been a lack, on my part, in the pavement pounding department.
I am full of guilt.
I look at my well intentioned, ever precise, running calendar every time I walk into my bathroom. And shame overtakes me as I see where I should be, versus where I am.
But I'm not quitting.
Nope, I still constantly think about that half marathon. I still have enough time to train that I haven't blown it for myself, yet. :/
But last night I put the shame aside and got back out to pounding the pavement and, to my surprise, I really had an amazing run!
I went one mile with Potter so it was more of a jog than a run. But really we had barely any walking breaks during that run.
Then I dropped him off and headed back out for mile 2! I was so proud of myself! I just kept telling myself to go. (it really is all mental.)
I plan on running most nights this week. And if I keep the pace up like last night I think I will do fine running my first 5k which is in 2wks!
Peace,
Good for you for getting back into it! I have a love/hate relationship with running but its just so lovely when the run is done and you feel so amazing!
ReplyDeleteGo girl for running! I try to run 4 days a week. It's just enough for me.
ReplyDeleteGood for you! I am going to the gym to run tonight as well. Although it is so easy to make tons of excuses, after I run, I feel great! So, hopefully this week will be a successful one for you and I both! ;) Good luck!!!
