Went for a run tonight. It was slow and a little painful, but soothing. It reminded of why I miss/love running on a daily basis. Maybe I can get back there

From 3/10/20:

Went for a run tonight. It was slow and a little frustrating, but informative. It reminded me of the level of commitment to myself needed in order to get to the fitness I used to be at. Maybe I can get back there.

Went for a run today. It was slow and a little inspiring, but humbling. I ran my first mile a minute faster than the pace of my previous runs but I felt it hard later in the run. It reminded me of the mental toughness needed to run competitively. Maybe I can get back there.

Went for a run today. It was slow and frustrating, but healing. I’ve always loved running in the rain and this run made me feel slightly better about my current fitness. It reminded me that I’m doing this for me and learning to love myself again. Maybe I can get back there.

Went for a run today. It was a lil faster and invigorating, but frustrating. It was the best run I’ve had to date but had to hold back for no burnout later. It reminded me that It takes a lot of work for your body to be in tune with its own fitness. Maybe I can get back there.

Went for a run today. It was a lil slower and very painful, but helpful. Getting going again after time off really hurt. It reminded me that you can lose all of the confidence you’ve gained in an instant if you’re not mentally tough enough. Maybe I can get back there.

Went for a run today. It was erratically pacer and tough, but good. I have not been sleeping or eating well and I felt it on the run. It reminded me that everything effects your run and you need to make your health your top priority to succeed. Maybe I can get back there.

Went for a run today. It was faster and short, but reassuring. I tried to run the 1st mile at 8:00 pace and then settle back to 8:45 pace for the 2nd mile, and I hit pace exactly. It reminded me of what paces I was capable of in the past. Maybe I can get back there.

Went for a run today. It was surprisingly fast and easy. I should have run yesterday but the extra day of rest was beneficial for today’s run. It reminded me I need to work on getting back in tune with my body so I can truly assess when it needs rest. Maybe I can get back there.

Went for a run today. It was short, fast, and cold. I bounced back well from yesterday and maintained a quicker pace as well. It reminded me how much I used to hate running in the cold but also how much more I hated not hitting my goals. Maybe I can get back there.

Went for a run today. It was short and slow, but delightful. I was dreading running today but once I started it was actually a good run. It reminded me how hard it can be mentally to get out for a run but eventually that barrier will disappear. Maybe I can get back there.
