My competition in training or a race is not all the other runners - my competition is that little voice in my head that tells me I should quit.
For truly I say to you, if you have faith as a grain of mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, move from here to there, and it will move; and nothing will be impossible to you. Matthew 17:20 NRSV

Running update

So, I ran 4 miles outside with two wonderful ladies on Sunday.  I wanted to quit. After the third mile, I felt so good, I picked up the pace and it felt so good.  Or maybe, I just wanted to be done? Couldn't wait to go home for coffee? I don't know.....but I did it.

I took yesterday off and drug myself to the gym at 5:30 a.m. today. I am not to be talked to or looked at at that hour of the day. I am not a happy camper.  On a positive note, it was light out, that makes things a teensy better.  I had a goal of 4 miles on the treadmill.  The first two miles were horrible....WHY IS THAT? I wanted to quit at least a dozen times.....and I wasn't running with anyone so I wouldn't have felt like a loser....but I fought with myself in my head and kept pressing on..........and I succeded.  I did it. 4 miles.  It wasn't easy.  And......I didn't know I could stink so bad?????  You know... body odor?? It's really bad lately.........must mean I am burning major calories...way more than the 500 the stupid machine said, right?

On another note, I am not going to work that hard for 4 miles and eat crap anymore...this weight is coming off!!  Where is my Jillian?!

Happy Tuesday all and what is with my excessive use of dots today........? *smile*
