I had a lame-ass run today, & now I'm frustrated. And, I topped off a bad run by eating a bag of trail mix. Who was I trying to punish? If it was myself, mission accomplished.
Okay, pity party for one is now over. I know that if I'm going to truly get better at both speed & mileage, I have to give myself a break & pace myself, so it's still enjoyable. At the same time, I need to believe in myself & keep working on it. Today I felt like 90% of it was mental, & that my brain was holding me back more than my body.
I'm over it & focused on having a fantastic day and work out tomorrow.
Hope you had a great St. Patrick's day, however you celebrated!
Yay! You're in WA too! New day tomorrow--you will bounce back. I know you are just starting running, but there is a Girlfriends half marathon in October in Vancouver, WA that you could attend (or train for) and meet some other bloggers! I'm running in it!
ReplyDeleteI have lots of Cougars in the family, so your WSU posts always make me smile. Love it! I am actually thinking of doing a 1/2 in July, knowing that I will likely need to walk some of it. I just want to keep signing up for races & stay motivated. I would love to do something in Vancouver - my sister lives there, so that would be fun & it would be so great to meet other bloggers. I'm off to look up the race info!
