So I have discovered something this morning as I am sure on this journey I will discover a lot about me and my body.
Running @ 4.0 on the treadmill because I want to start slow makes me not be able to run a mile? Weird?
I ran .40 of a mile and then walked, another .10 of a mile I ran then walked the rest of my first mile. It just felt like I could not get moving.
Well mile 2 rolls around and I started to talk to myself out loud that this was nothing only 1 more mile to go. So I ran, and I turned it up to 4.3 and the mile came much easier to me that at 4.0.
I have also made the commitment to myself that I need to do my runs in the morning.
I am still having the most horrible shin splints but when I get to work I am going to ice them for awhile.
The feeling I get when I finish that run feels AWESOME I do not think I have sweat like this since high school. And then I walked my dog to cool down.
Today nothing can bring me down
