Did my run today, forced myself to the gym and total mind game to keep going...just one min of running and one more....

Those days are hard! I know them well. My coach says they are good training for races when you want to give up, but don't. He says those days are mental training. Way to go for hanging in there.

Thanks!



Interesting time at the gym tonight.
I live in a small town and it's the only gym in town. So guess who is there tonight, an ex. although I don't have feelings for him anymore it totally made me self-conscious.

Then part way through my work out the boys show up - this is the same general group that have I've noticed now and then with the florescent high-tops as their street shoes. They come and 'play' on the weights. One of them tonight was wearing those loose board-shorts, a bright blue wife-beater and a toque!?

I got a book I ordered in today "Running for Mortals" looking forward to reading it.

I'm adapting my program to the one in my new book, running for mortals, so I have a little bit more direction instead of feeling like I'm making it up as I go along. I had been trying to use Geoff Galloway’s stuff but he doesn’t tell us what intervals to run at, just how long to run.

SO plan for this week is:
Monday: Run 2mins, walk 3 mins for 30 mins
Tues: XT - bike
Wed: Run 2mins, walk 3 mins for 30 mins
Thurs: XT - bike
Fri: off
Sat: Run 2mins, walk 3 mins for 35 mins
Sun: Swim
