My running has been shit lately.
I have had an excuse for everything. Working too much, not enough sleep, etc. Whatever it is, my running has really suffered. Some weeks, I was only running a couple of days a week.
On Saturday, I had a particularly crappy run around the lake. I couldn't make it all the way around without walking. That really pissed me off!
On Sunday I made a decision to recommit myself to running. I posted a message on Daily Mile about my recommitment. It was out there for all the world (or all of Daily Mile) to see. In fact, several of my fellow running-bloggers commented on it. There was no turning back.
Monday morning rolls around. I did not want to get out of bed. The thought of leaving the cozy covers for the TM made me sick. I told myself I would skip the run. Then that dumb Daily Mile note I posted popped in my head. Damn it! I was stuck. How was I going to punk out the very next day. I don't think so! I got up, hopped on that treadmill and ran 4 wonderful miles! Today I did another 3.
It felt great to do 2 days straight. It is going to feel great to hit 4 runs for the week. And another 4 runs next week. And on and on. I love knowing that when I need the motivation, it is out there.
Aaaaah…..
