I have been having a hard time lately getting up and starting my workout. Although I haven't yet missed any because of it, I find myself in a mental battle each morning as to whether I go out or not. I think the act of getting dressed in my sweats is what is comitting me, as why would I bother if I wasn't planning on going out.
Suffice it to say, I went out grudgingly, and just planned to run/walk the 1.5 miles to QFC and back. I started out pretty slowly, in a very slow jog. I picked things up a little bit, and felt pretty good until next thing I know, I have run half of my distance total without stopping to rest. So, I decided to run that way back, and with the exception of a 20 second fast walk just past half way, I ran the whole distance. That for sure is a personal record, and the most I have run since the Navy.
It took me 31 minutes to do it, but even when I was done, I probably could have run more. I came back to the house feeling terrific about my accomplishment.
Even though the motivation to do my workouts is a struggle sometimes, its days like today that make it all worthwhile.
