Today was the first time in a long time I actually had fun running. My goal was to do 3 miles at a 1/1 interval. I actually did the first mile at 1/1, the second mile at 2/1, and part of the third mile at 3/1, so I did better than expected! My time was slow as I knew it would be. Last summer when I was running pretty consistently my 5K time was usually between 39:00 and 41:00. Today I did 3 miles in 43:00, so obviously much slower, but not as bad as I was expecting. I’ll take it!
It’s funny how mental running is and how you can mentally pump yourself up or psyche yourself out. For the first two miles I was running in between two rather attractive, obviously well-trained runners, and I was pumped and in the zone. “Hey fellas. How you doin’?” LOL. The music was blaring and I was gliding along. Somewhere around mile two one of the guys got off and a skinny, pretty, blonde girl got on, and I was done, ready to get off (I didn’t though of course). Oh the mind games one can play with themselves!
Anywho, I really enjoyed my run today, and in an unrelated note I buried my scale in my closet. I am done weighing myself. It messes with my mind and confidence too much.
The race is three weeks away! Marcia and Derrick, I hope your training is going well and I am excited to see you that day!
Happy Running!
Sally
