Today started out bad, I didn't sleep well, I stayed up too late last night. I had to talk myself into doing my scheduled training run/walk today. I did get on my treadmill, started out pretty slow. I was doing a 2min/2min run/walk interval for 40 minutes.
I had to do a lot of self talk to get myself going. I started out thinking-it's only 2 minutes, you can do it- then while I was running for the 2 minutes I had to keep up constant self talk chatter in my head......you're doing great- you can do it'- remember why your doing this- remember you have a choice to be healthy all those babies and kids don't get to choose...
and I started to picture myself at the finish line...( ok, it might sound corny, but it works ) all my family and friends who have been encouraging me all there waiting for me to cross that line......cheering their hearts out for ME! I have to say it actually made me get a little teary eyed just imagining what that is going to be like.....and guess what? Before I knew it, I was done and I felt great.
They say that with running it is more mental than physical......I think I believe that now.
Tomorrow is a rest day. I will probably do some easy yoga stretches.
Rally On!
Oh, I almost forgot......thanks to my amazing family and friends I have passed my fund raising goal.......I'm at $1,050.00!!! Woo Hoo
