so day one of my first step is complete. yesterday i "ran" step one towards my crazy corn maze 5k in October. i am kicking my self (if only momentarily) for allowing myself to get back to this point again. only momentarily because i know i need to focus on today and not live in the past. it was hard but i did it and actually think i could start at week two but don't want to hurt myself. yesterday as i was sucking wind i was remembering the days when six miles was relatively easy and i want to be back at that point again! today is a day of rest, going forward i will do my running training three days a week while supplementing the gym with cardio and weights on odd days with one day off a week.
healthy food day as well, well all until i decided to have a beer with dinner. i am giving up alcohol for awhile, it is a bad choice inhibitor so it seems best to trade it in for some water. :)
"tomorrow is day two... harder? i bet it will be, but i am kinda looking forward to it."
ReplyDeleteI loved that line.
my former yoga instructor, Lisa, used to say - you don't start over, you begin again from where you are.
I GET the kicking oneself.
But you have a big advantage this time, you have more knowledge, you know how to do it. know how to do it without pushing too hard or being careless and having injury.
I am very much enjoying reading about your process. it is new to me.
