I was out there again this morning. I haven't made the progress I had hoped, but I am still working at it.
BTW, I ran on Saturday too. It was me against the Tropical Storm, Hanna, and Hanna won. I think the 94+% humidity did me in early. But I was out there.
Today I ran 14 out of 30 minutes. That's steady with what I did last week. I did 3min/90sec, 5min/2.5min, 2 min,2.5 min, 4min/cool down. For those who pay attention that's the first 5 minute leg I've done in 5 weeks. (5 weeks ago I ran one 5 minute run, and it killed me and set me back till now.) This time I did the 5 minute run, and squeezed a 4 minute run to end that's the first time for that. Yay!!!!
On the trail...
The biggest thing was a mental hurdle that I got over. There is this crosswalk painted on the trail but it is obsolete because of construction. It serves no purpose, it is just white paint. For the last couple weeks I have used that as a finish line. Over the last three runs, I have tried to push myself further to another landmark, but each time I get to the crosswalk, I breakdown mentally and give up. Today I didn't. I made it all the way to the finish line I've been pushing for for a while. I was really excited about that.
