This morning was hard. I did NOT want to wake up. While getting up at 5:15 for a 5:30 run has so many more advantages than running at 9:00, it's still REALLY HARD to get up so early.
I didn't want to wake up and Steve was so supportive and really pushed me/motivated me to get up and get going. As I headed out the door, I was still 1/2 asleep, which led to me not "feeling it" today.
I guess some days are good and some are bad. My knees started to hurt while I was running today, and I missed the first 1.5 minute run so it screwed up my entire morning run. I was sluggish and slow and had a lot of negative thoughts going through my head.
I've said it before, 99% of running is mental. Today wasn't a good day mentally.
I'm now super tired and just want to crawl back into bed. Fortunately, today we have no plans and I can just loaf around if I want. I think I will.
Cathy, kudos for getting out there. I find that voice in my head to be so very powerful. Great job for recognizing that. I have also found that running on an empty stomach doesn't work for me. Only thru trial and error have I found that if I grab a little something can I run better. Perhaps it may work for you. Usually it is just a piece of fruit or a tb of peanut butter. Good luck!
