So it’s sunny here. And I haven’t run for ummm… I dunno… a week or something? Damn Flu. It messes with your body and your mind. I was so sure that today’s run was going to suck and I wasn’t going to be able to do it. I really had to muster up all my motivation. I am proud of myself that I got up this morning without giving myself time to hesitate, put on my Nike yoga pants, my CoolMax long sleeved shirt, my Ipod, laced up my Asaics 2110’s and out the door I went. Almost 3 miles. Took three walking breaks but I felt *good*. Mostly I think I felt good because I shipped my Garmin Forerunner back and so I didn’t have anything to tell me how freaking slow I was going. Ignorance is bliss for an over achiever.

I am going to be making a commitment to the Triathalon soon which require a more formal training plan. Until that time… i am still doing “maintainance” running. My only goal right now is maintaining my current level of fitness and not burning out. I am now able to do my three miles without being so freaking worn out at the end that I can’t do anything for the rest of the day.

Only took me a year to get here. Ha.
