After pressing “publish” on yesterday’s post, I spent a lot of time thinking about my wanting to back out of the Army 10 miler. After a long chat with a friend from home, I realized that my problem is not running, it’s the pressure that I’ve let the running put on me. What happened to the days when running made me feel like this?
Ok, well that’s beer in my hand so of course I was feeling good…
So today, I decided to go for a short run with just a watch, and when I ended, I ended. I didn’t pay attention to the time, I didn’t pay attention to the mileage, I just ran. And it was all good until a Marine (he had the haircut and a Marines t-shirt on) blew by me in front of a line of traffic!! I can only imagine what that looked like!
Anyway, I’m feeling better today. Little by little and hopefully I’ll get back to this:
I say run the race - for you :) And for fun :)
ReplyDeleteIf it's not enjoyable, don't force it. You look so happy! And gorgeous! :-)
ReplyDeleteThere's my boilermaker buddy . . . yay!!
ReplyDeleteAlways run for yourself first! You'll get back there again. Wish I was going to be around for the Rockville 10k this year :(
