I ran at my parents house today, which has inclines on the route I go instead of the flat course on the wash. I also went in the afternoon, so it was a lot warmer out.
To be honest, I felt like I was going faster than I was, and I felt that twinge of panic. I felt like I was pushing myself and still went slower than I had hoped. I felt like it was going to take a lot for me to improve in any way. I felt every inch of my body with each step I took.
I literally almost slapped myself across the face.
Those things are not important, at least not right now. This is the second run for me. I have room for improvement and I have plenty of time to make those improvements the right way.
The main thing I need to focus on is one of my favorite quotes I've seen on pinterest and I use it often as a mantra while running:
Today's run was 2.13 miles and it took me exactly 30 minutes.
Mile 1- 13:48
Mile 2- 14:23
Mile 0.13- 1:49
My eating could have been better today. I felt very snacky all day and couldn't shake that feeling. I know the problem started by me not having breakfast this morning. That plus working out this morning I just didn't do well. I really need to go grocery shopping to prevent this. Usually, if I have the choice, I will pick the healthy food. But since the refrigerator is looking pretty bare I went for the unhealthy choices.
Tomorrow is another day. And I'm not going to spend the rest of the night wallowing over my choices for today. All I can do is know that I can make better choices tomorrow. And that's exactly what I plan on doing. I will not let one day derail me for the rest of the week!
