It is the doubt that has me the most concerned. Today, I felt myself watching the runners around me and not pushing myself. I could also see my feet in the reflection of the partition in front of me and I looked slow ... and felt slow. I know this will pass; but, I am missing some way to snap myself out of that negative funk when I am in the middle of a workout. Depending on how my knee feels, I will run again Thursday and focus on improving my attitude.
If you have any suggestions or inspiring quotes they are more than welcome.
A huge thank you to my new workout buddy -- our scheduled 9 am workout forced me out of bed at a decent hour (typically, on my days off I sleep until 10-10:30). In addition to getting in an "early" morning workout, I also accomplished my To Do List before noon! Bonus!
Another huge THANK YOU to Paula who put her Physical Therapy skills to work and constructed an exciting lifting program to help me develop my slow twitch endurance muscles. I am especially excited about the "hydrant" which involves me pretending to pee on a fire hydrant. THANK YOU!
TTFN,
Chasing Becky
You can do it! You don't need to push yourself so hard to make it happen though. Remember the tortoise and the hare -- "slow and steady wins the race."
ReplyDeleteWell maybe slow isn't a good plan, but steady is.
