Proof my expectations of myself are getting a lot higher: I "only" managed to run about 3.2 miles today. I mapped out a 4.0 mile course only to abbreviate it to 3.5. It's not as bad as I thought I was doing. My guess had me only going for a total of 3.0 miles (running only 2.5 of it). I had to walk twice which is probably why it feels like failing.
Granted, it's still 3.2 miles that I never could have run before. The 2 polish sausages and 2 cupcakes I ate today isn't exactly the meal of champions. Combine that with the heat/humidity and the uphill nature of the course I picked and it made for a pretty hard run. Oh yeah and I worked 6:30-noon, had the Twins game 12:30-4.... those are my excuses and i'm sticking to 'em.
Ok... now to fix some dinner.

you are a brave one!! it was 96 degrees today here and I didn't even want to leave my house to drive to my mom and dad's so that I could feed and water their cats (keeping in mind that they are only 6 blks from lake michigan, the temperature "dropped" to a balmy 92-93! lol!)! The fact that you ran anything is impressive if it's anything there like it is here.... :) hooray!!
ReplyDeleteThanks! When I got home I was so mad at myself and then as I was writing it kind of hit me: I still ran over 3 miles. Not really a failure! It was definitely warm here. It may have "only" been in the 80's though by the time I ran! :)
