Good morning everyone! Today let’s talk about my half marathon training…or actually the lack of training that I’ve been doing. I’m just going to put this out there and I apologize in advance for the semi-depressing post.
I have been a TOTAL slacker these last two months in the running department. I have probably run a total of 20 miles. Luckily, I haven’t completely let myself go since I am still trying to stick to the high protein plan and, have turned on the Jillian Michael’s DVD more than I would like. Unfortunately, right now I feel
like a bit of a failure. I realize that this is a complete over exaggeration, but for the sake of this post, let’s just go with it.
Yesterday I was good and woke up at 5:15am, took the dog out, and then immediately bopped off to the gym to get my run in – 5.5 miles…not bad at all. This morning, due to the fact that I have a cell phone that probably first debuted 15 years ago, my alarm didn’t go off and I slept right on through my morning workout. Now I realize that this is just one day, but this weekend I really made a point to remind myself of just how important it is to get that morning workout in (since I’m typically too tired after work to do my run) and of course what happens on the second day of the week…no morning workout.
I’m going to try and just dust this off and start again tomorrow, but for some reason this is really bothering me.
Alright, I’ve just decided I’m not going to write anything more about this and to stop complaining and stop being depressed. It’s not that big of a deal…hmpf. It’s just one of those days….
If the above photo isn't inspiration enough to get me back on track with my running...I don't know what is!
