Motivation Monday...errr Tuesday
Pain. This is a marathon’s constant companion. At least this marathoner.
Currently I am a “walker”, but am beginning the transition to running for the Nike Women’s half marathon. So Saturday we had a 9 mile route for training. And it was killer, windy, and cold and lots of rolling hills. I have never been so sore and so exhausted in my life. (I fell asleep in the laundry room that afternoon waiting for a machine to open up…twice. yikes) I think this is because I ran. I ran the last half mile (truly amazing for me). My coach mentioned that there was chocolate milk at the finish line…so I ran.
Clearly I may need to change the name of this blog to “Will run for chocolate milk”
So aside from being is great amounts of pain, it was a good training. I learned that I do not want to be in that much pain ever again J that means that there needs to be more stretching, and more training during the week. I accidently missed my mid-week session since I went to the wrong location! Ooops!
Pain is an amazing motivator. I wanted so badly to run on Saturday- and it felt so good to run. And it hurt like hell when I stopped. I was not expecting that. So it made me think- if it hurts to stop, and it feels amazing to run…why in the name if all that is holy am I WALKING???
This coming Saturday is my first ever 10 mile day; and then I am super insanse because I am walking an additional 4 miles next weekend for March for Babies. sweet.
