Didn’t wanna....but I did
I think I had too much fun on yesterday’s day off. I was a bit unmotivated today. I need to recognize that and make some adjustments. A couple too many drinks can make me go sideways for a few days now that I am getting older. I simply can’t party like I used to.
Anyway, I almost tried talking myself out of running tonight but knew that I had to go. I couldn’t miss tonight then have to run 5 days in a row again like I did last week. Plus I love splitting my days off up. It makes the week go by easier and I feel stronger on my runs.
There were multiple times on tonight’s run where I wanted to call it quits but kept on going. It was a work out night so I had to put in some effort. Specifically 40 minutes straight of solid effort. The first 10 minutes or so was actually a little slow but I picked up the pace as my legs loosened up. It was still a super tough run but I feel good with it now that I am done.
I’m forced myself to write this now before I go to bed because I made myself a commitment. I have to be up in a few hours so I am going to stop now. Moral of the story is…..you aren’t always going to feel like doing something. Often times you will feel like you don’t want to do it and talk yourself out of it. Just show up! You’ll thank yourself later.
