Gak! Has it really been over a week since I've run? I think I finally hit rock bottom as far as motivation goes, and now I'm back and on a mission to run my first marathon in October. The binge of eating badly, having no energy, and generally being lazy is over. And this past week, when we were getting ready for a garage sale, going to baseball games in the evening, and to my bro-in-law's graduation yesterday, is now a memory and it's time to get serious again.
I ran over 2.5 miles today in 90 degree weather. So much for spring. And so much for stuff like the bowl of candy on my desk at work. This week I'm putting the rest of what I have in the bowl and once it's gone I'm not buying any more. Supposedly it's for everyone else at work, but somehow I end up eating most of it. No more. I'm in training!
Also as motivation today while I ran was Petra's album Beyond Belief. I figured if I was distracted by good music the thoughts of quitting early would find it harder to get through. I was right. Thank God for iPods!
