My run today was satisfying. I did three miles, the same out and back route I ran yesterday. I'm still kind of going slow, but it didn't hurt. No cramps, no bad joint pain, no wanting to kill over and die. :)
The first half took me 14:58. When I pushed the lap button at my turn around, I thought my watch didn't do anything so I was freaking out and became a little discouraged. I decided to quit messing with it and just checked what time it was. 8:36am. I kept wanting to walk but I only ended up walking once for about a minute or so. I started gagging/dry heaving while I was running, but I kept going and it quickly passed. I think if I would have stopped I would have kept gagging, so i am glad I pushed myself. I got back at 8:51:32. So, my second half was just under 16 minutes.So I ran 3 miles in a little under 31 minutes. I felt good for the most part. I think NOT eating breakfast before I ran was the right choice.
It's amazing, all the little things you learn while running to improve for the next time. It is sort of a trial and error learning sort of deal.
So when I got home, I was mad at my watch. I kept pushing all sorts of buttons to see what happened. Come to find out, it did register that I pushed the lap button. After pushing a few buttons, I found the clock and it was still going. Lame. Not sure what happened.
"Now if you are going to win any battle you have to do one thing. You have to make the mind run the body. Never let the body tell the mind what to do. The body will always give up. It is always tired in the morning, noon, and night. But the body is never tired if the mind is not tired."-George S. Patton, U.S. Army General, 1912 Olympian
