Today I'm exhausted both mentally and physically. When I started my running plan on Sunday, my run went well and I wasn't sore. Yesterday my workout went on as scheduled at the gym. Because the gym was ridiculously packed yesterday, instead of my usual interval run on the treadmill I opted for a half mile in the lap pool. This morning I hit my jogging goal of the day of 2.5 miles. I'm not to excited as I feel like I should have completed it in a quicker time. However, I have to keep my eyes on the positive. I completed something I had never done! lol. I have to keep reminding myself that I'm new at this and I won't be an expert at it after two jogging sessions.
Today is one of those days that is definitely testing my mental endurance. My body is exhausted and little tiny thoughts start to come in here and there telling me I should quit. I've been good at that all my life. Anytime something got hard I walked away and hid in my safe spot. The good news is I don't plan on quitting anytime soon. Which is definitely a change in my usual habits. I just feel like I need to talk about it and get it out there so that I won't allow these thoughts to over come my brain.
Ugh I CAN DO THIS...the pain is only temporary! I will not quit! I know its only a minor bump in my road or more like a steep hill I have to get over. lol. Soon enough I'll be sailing on that smooth, down hill quickly. I just feel like when this starts to finally feel easy it gets difficult again. Its life I know! I will make it through it! lol It's nothing a good nights rest wont solve. Keep on trucking! lol ha ha Happy Workouts to all!!
