This morning I ran in the rain. It wasn't raining when I started, but by the time I got into my run, it had started to sprinkle and then come down pretty hard towards the end.
It was so much harder to run today. I felt tired, heavy, and had legs like cement again. In my head, as I was packing up my stuff to leave for my run, I kept saying, "It's fine, you can just walk today." But when I got there, I decided to just try running and see how I felt.
Don't get me wrong, I was not enjoying myself, but I ran the full 90 seconds each cycle just like last week. I still cannot picture myself running for five minutes, much less ten or twenty.
I still don't get how people can just get up and go run. I'm not in that mind-set yet. I'm still in the baby-steps, gotta take it a day at a time, mentality. We'll see what Wednesday brings.
On a positive note, there's a chance that my dad and my cousin will be coming down to run the Color Run with me in Charlotte. I've asked them both about it and Jes is looking into it, and my dad just laughed when I asked him. Not sure if he knows I was being serious about it, but I think it'd be so fun. Steve and Gus are going to come with me and hopefully, we can make a nice weekend getaway out of it. I think it'd be fun with my mom and dad, and maybe Jes and her family will want to do it too.
We'll see. I'm tired though and I'm off to relax.
A lot of running at a certain point is mental. Keep moving one foot in front of the other. WTG!
