It was a beautiful day for a run today, but for some reason, I just did not feel like running. I did anyways, but I didn’t make it the whole 28 minutes. I ran the first mile in 11 minutes and I just couldn’t convince myself to keep running. So I walked for 3 minutes, turned around, walked 3 more and then made myself run the last 11 minutes back.
I think it was all in my head that I couldn’t do it. My legs didn’t hurt (I haven’t had that nerve pain down my leg since going to the chiropractor), and I think my lungs were doing fine. I just have a hard time thinking about running for that long. It just seems too long and I’m sure I won’t be able to do it; so then of course it’s easy to give up. I think I have to start thinking in shorter increments. Maybe I’ll just set my timer for 7 minutes and do that 4 times. See, that doesn’t sound quite as miserable as 28 minutes!
