Gorgeous morning here -- actually cold. It was 50 when we got up. Today we had to do our timed 1 mile on the track. We got there a little early to warm up -- ended up warming up by doing 5 laps. Then the timed mile -- all running, no walking -- 9:30 @@ whatever I'm fin'g slow. lol Then we headed out on the trail and did 7 miles. Felt good. I have to tell ya I"ve been struggling A LOT mentally after that 23 mile run. My time for that 23 miler was slower than I thought I would do the entire marathon in. That really has played a number on me. I seriously want to give up and not do it. Isn't that crazy -- only 3 more miles to go, and I would give up??? I feel a little better today about it. Next week we are doing the actual marathon route -- we are run/walking 26 fricken miles next Saturday. so yea, i'm battling some mental/head game issues with telling myself I can't do this . . . also the whole fatter than a whale thing is hard. I haven't told anyone at my new job I'm doing this training. I know they would look at me and think -- WTF how can that fat lady run that far. Because that is what I think. SO anyways, before i start crying about this bullshit . . .
Happy Saturday.
