The Running Struggle

As predicted I did not run yesterday but I did today. Yesterday just was busy and by the time I got time by myself I just wanted to sleep and watch TV. Lazy. But today I made sure I got crap done. I cleaned my house, did laundry, had birthday lunch with the girls, and got my run in. It is getting better and better.  I find that I want to run fast at the beginning. But my body is telling my brain to fuck off. Cuz in reality I crap out not in 5 minutes in. But with this slower pace I can do almost 10 minutes.  Super excited about this!!! Now the test will be if I can keep it up during the week.  Fingers crossed.  But I won't get mad at myself if I can't get it done. As long as I try. 

Day Two in the bag y'all!!!  I am loving it so far. But I can't say too much since I usually stop after a week, or when a weekend comes up. I make excuses and don't do it.  But I will do it. I need to better myself.

I am starting my running health journey again. Life is slowing down, and I need to do this for myself. I deserve to feel good about myself. Running helps me clear my head and just listen to the music and my feet hitting the treadmill or pavement.  So here we go.  My friend said if you are starting again to try just going for a specific time and not worry about miles, that it will come in time. Bump up the time you run little by little.  So I did that today. Ran almost for 10 minutes straight. After not running for almost six months, this surprised me! I am so proud of myself. I'd I make myself do it every day or at least 5 times a week, I think I can be better than I was. I will use this to make myself accountable. Let's do this!!!
