Today was not what I had hoped for; it hurt bad. My calves were so tight that I spent a lot of time walking. I'm sure that it has to do with the cold I've been fighting, but it is a little disappointing. Today was the first "Bad" running day, I've had in a while.
With the "Bad" there usually comes some good though. Today was no different. It is raining and not too cold, so even though I was walking a lot, I had some quality time in the beauty of the great outdoors. That is always good for my soul. I also was able to do a lot of thinking about my training. I realized that I've been approaching this journey like a test. Cram and conquer. I guess it's not that way. Running is an endurance sport and I guess it needs an endurance approach to training as well.
I've been really busy training my body, but I need to spend some time training my mind and disciplining myself in pursuit of this goal. So I'm going to be a bit more diligent in my sleep and eating habits, as well as my running schedule. I've also decided that I need to find a few new routes to break up the monotony. I cannot wait to look back on this time and laugh at how newbie I was. :))
