Running has been easy. Getting out and doing it has been difficult. Life gets busy and sometimes I have no time to fit in a run. Is that an excuse or does life just happen?
Today I ran 5 miles. I ran it with NO ipod. It died 50 yards into my run. I asked myself if I would be able to run 5 with no musical motivation. I did it, not sure how? It feels pretty good to know that I can run that distance. I convienced myself that 2 miles a day was good enough. I was full of shit! 5 miles feels so much better. I have the NIKE 10K coming up in a couple of weeks. I am going to focus on my pace, need to step it up a little.
We all know how it feels to accomplish your goal. Why deprive yourself of that? Just do it!
"You also need to look back, not just at the people who are running behind you but especially at those who don't run and never will... those who run but don't race...those who started training for a race but didn't carry through...those who got to the starting line but didn't in the finish line...those who once raced better than you but no longer run at all. You're still here. Take pride in wherever you finish. Look at all the people you've outlasted." - Joe Henderson
