Should Have, Could Have

I realize today I should have posted the days I wasn't running. Wednesday I was in Nashville and had to hustle in fancy clothes up and down hills and a million staircases. I'm counting as a walk. My makeup was sweating off, my hair plummeted, and my calves were KILLING me! So it counts!

Thursday it stormed ALL day and night.

Tonight I went for my 3 mile run/walk. I just didn't make it. At first when I stepped out of my house I just wanted to start running that first step. I walked and added a new stretch of running.

My route just seemed more menacing. It was darker. This is all probably because it was Saturday night, not a week day. There were fewer people out and more cars on the road. It seemed that the people out were shadier and the cars en route party goers.

Then all these negative thoughts flooded my head. What if my time is LONGER then last time? Are these people passing me thinking how fat and sweaty I am? I hate these pants. What if I can't really do this? What if I don't follow through?

I only did 2 miles not the 3 I had set out to do. But, I am seriously reconsidering this plan. Not the running just the route that I have set up and my training. I am going to have to set up a firm schedule. I'm thinking doing the 3 mile runs twice a week. And I am going to have to start taking the girls up on working out. Mixing in some long walks.

TIME: 2 miles 34:03:32

Goals for tomorrow: to be outside and be active (its the company picnic)

Goals for this week: to set up a firm training schedule
