Yesterday, I was craving a candy bar, so I got one out of the snack machine. After I ate it, I knew I had to go and run because I needed to burn all those calories.
So I headed to the track after I left everyone eating. Ran 4 miles! The first 20 minutes were hard because it was so hot and humid. I kept telling myself "just 5 more minutes", that became my mantra. I got to 30 minutes, and the mantra changed to "I made it to 30 min, let's go for 40 min".
I started to feel really good after 30 minutes and so I stopped worrying about time, and focused on intervals. Started with 1.5 min intervals and went down to 1 min. After I got into the groove of things, I started going 2 minutes. By the time I stopped, I ran for 3 minutes without stopping and could have kept going another minute. I was so excited, it was a great workout.
I was so tired I crashed and hit the snooze one too many times this morning. Thankfully the kids slept all night, they've been doing that a lot lately and I'm hoping they'll stick with it from now on.
I'm looking forward to training tonight, I need to get new music on my iPod. It's amazing what a difference it makes to have some good music with me when I'm out by myself. I don't want to stop because I want to keep listening to the music. Those of you with kids know, listening to your music is a treat. At my house, we listen to kids' music more than we listen to anything else. lol
