Ok, so I did my long run today. The longest that I've ever run yet and it had to be on the boring treadmill. I listened to a book on tape and ignored my kids' yelling and crying. I've been moody today anyways so I really needed to just think about myself and running. I really wish I could've gone outside and just got away from it all. Oh well. The story was good and I just tried to get lost in it but I was actually getting pretty tired pretty fast. I felt like I had to push myself, I mean really push myself just to get to 4.5 miles. It took a lot just to pick up my feet and put one in front of the other but I kept going. Then at 5.25 my cd ended and of course I couldn't stop to get the next one or I know I would never start again. I feel good now that I'm done but especially during that last .75 miles I was really thinking "I am not a runner." Maybe next time I won't be so cranky to start with and it will go better. |
