Running is a head game. I think and know I can run, but then my mind tells me I can't.
I woke up at 7:49am this morning way later than any Saturday. I wanted to run at 7 and be done by 7:49am. So right there my brain started the run struggle.
Its too late to run
It will be too hot to run
I won't get back until 9am if I go now
My body took over and went through the motions of putting on my running clothes, my fanny pack thingy, my headphones, shoes all with my mind still struggling with me coming up with all the "poor me" excuses on what I would tell Andy when he asked if I ran.
My body (thank God) is stronger than my mind and I walked out the front door warmed up with a 2 minute walk then ran a full 20 mins. I had to stop to walk for a little bit and thats where the head game began again, I can't run anymore, and then a good song would come on and I CAN run again, then I would stop then I CAN'T run again. Then a good song again so I have to thank Matisyahu for bringing me home with "One Day" 3 times in a row and telling me I CAN!
I am Happy to log 47:02 Mins 463KCals burned
