The good news - I went running this morning.
The bad news - I set my interval timer all wrong. First the sound was off, then it started over, then I set a rest interval accidentally and I was supposed to up my running time and shorten my walking time. I ran and walked the right number of intervals - I think, but not the right lengths - I'm pretty sure. All messed up.
The bad news - I almost quit half way through because I was tired and frustrated.
The good news- I didn't!
More good news - I think I ran enough that I can feel happy about my run. I'm finding I don't really enjoy running - but I am so proud of myself that I ran. I bring it up in conversations all day long. "Yes, I went running at 5 am this morning...." amazing how cogent that is to every conversation. So, yes, I'm proud of myself - even though I realize in the world of running I'm a little tiny shrimp in a very large ocean - at least I am now in the ocean.
Have a great day all of you wonderful people!

Half the fun in running is telling people that you did it! Great job pushing through a rough morning. It doesn't take talent to be a runner, it takes perseverance and stubbornness. Way to show running who's the boss!
ReplyDeleteI find I do the same thing like "well I can eat whatever I want today because I already went running to burn these calories" even though I know that's not true. I'm glad you've been running! You, me, and Amy should go for a run sometime when we're actually in the same state/continent!
