This morning I was out there again. Glad to have a normal week so far. Boring is better if it means a steady routine. I ran the third course. I've begun calling the weekly workouts courses, because of my slow progress. I run till I master a course, then move up to the next.
Today after four runs since vacation, I finished the course. Yay!
90/90 3m/3m/ repeat
I was exhausted, and had that vomit feeling in the pit of my stomach, but I did it. I montra'd my way through it. I kept a check list constantly in my head: Head up, look at the finish line, breathe, stay loose, use your arms to power your legs, run on your heels, leave no reserve in the tank.
That's the sum total of everything I know about running. I just kept repeating it till my trainer told me it was time to stop. It was when I stopped that I realized how hard I had pushed myself. Maybe harder than any run yet.?.
Overall, I'm still glad I chose to start running. I never thought I would be, but I actually enjoy it.
