"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."
I didn't run yesterday. My ankles were still hurting so I just walked as much as I could. However, judging by how the rest of my day went and by the weather today...I should have run yesterday. My day just seemed to drag on. I didn't get hardly anything done and I felt a little depressed. Turns out, I need to release those endorphins!!!!
So today, even though I don't usually run on Thursdays, I was determined to make up for yesterday. Of course, the minute I step outside, it starts raining!
I didn't plan a course beforehand, I just figured I would run for 20 minutes or so. I didn't have much time because I had to go into work early. I ran for 23.47 minutes. On map my run, it says that I ran 2.34 miles. So, my miles were like 10 minute miles. I feel like that is SUPER slow. BUT I need to remember I am not concentrating on speed yet. Right now, I am just trying to get my body used to running. I am running a 10k in less than a month and I would like to work on my speed soon. Next week I am starting my actual training program so maybe I can start concentrating on speed then and I will actually plan the routes I will be running.
