I could use a hug today from you guys.My workout this morning didn't QUITE go as planned - and I've realized that two rest days in a row doesn't work - my legs were screaming - and nearly cramped. I was able to do 2.2 miles in 30 minutes - but MOSTLY walked.
Since Monday was thrown off by the morning, the whole day was a little off.
And so today I find myself spiraling into self-doubt.
Sure - we've all been here. But then I see ZERO comments from yesterday.
Did I go to Boston and get forgotten?!?! :(
So....today I'm being a bit selfish.
I'm asking you guys - to comment. Say hi. Tell me I can do it.
ANYTHING positive.
For some reason - I kinda need it today.
MAIN STREET AWAITS!
I think that everyone here who lets a little pain stop them from exercising should watch this video and see that you really have no excuses:

Don't forget we all have busy days too, and it makes it hard for us all to comment.post everyday.
ReplyDeleteWhat self doubt?? Why?? Hey, Saturday I put in 8 miles outside. I hit the wall{again} And I kept going, finished the 8 miles. I was really sore the next day, but I kept going.
Do not allow yourself to fall short to a little soreness. So what...There is tomorrow get back out there do it again and again till you get better. Training, that is what is about.
Right?? Learn from taking 2 days off in a row. Did you learn anything about your body?? Did you learn NO Matter where you are you have to Stick to it?? I hope so.
{ Hugged computer screen here.}:)
Now get up dust off and try again tomorrow.{I know tomorrow is weights} Say hi once in a while.
Now are you ready???

ReplyDeleteHi - and you can totally do it! Those two days of rest are behind you, today's workout is behind you, and you have the future to look forward to! You can do it!!!!
ReplyDeleteJust keep swimming, just keep swimming...
ReplyDeleteI look for your blog posts every morning to keep me inspired to go out for a run in the afternoon. Keep it up. Sometimes taking a step or two back is not really going backwards, but preparing to leap forwards!
Stick-to-it-ive-ness...
ReplyDeleteHaven't you developed that yet. I can't believe that the Jonathan we have watched blossom over the last year and a half is getting down over two days of rest and one bad run.
Buck up, cowboy, and get back on that horse. You'll be glad you did!
You can do it, dude! Just whistle while you work! :)
ReplyDeleteThe nice part about starting a 14 week program 28 weeks before a race?? You're allowed to stumble a little.
ReplyDeleteI'm right there with ya Jonathan. I picked up a nasty virus this past weekend and missed my Saturday and Monday runs. Not good...but today I got right back on track with a cross training day and then Thursday is a fresh start for running intervals again. Don't let 1 bad day set you back...and don't get so down on yourself that the steering wheel starts turning the car into that gas station again!!
Sometimes self-doubt makes us work a little harder -- and I know you will!
