I am wide awake at 0440. i did sleep for about two hours, but the dog coughing made me wake up. I wish I could sleep a few more hours as I have a pretty busy day today.
I did nothing yesterday - i did not even leave this apartment! I feel so sluggish!.
My run on Tuesday caused some pain in my shins - actually in my entire lower legs. So i have decided to rest them for a few days and hope to run tonight or tomorrow. I feel i am so close to making some improvement in my run times but it seems when I think i am getting close I get some sort of pain or injury.
My experiment with the whole barefoot running did not end so well. My calves hurt and never seemed to get better so i never could run without stopping with pain.
I have three full months to improve my run times or I will be on the borderline of failing once again. currently a good run seems to put me at 13:30 for the 1.5 miles. My goal is to trim 30 seconds off each of the next three months and that would put me at a 12 min mile and a half. granted not blazing speed but along with sit ups and push ups i could get very close to a decent score.
I know i bitch and whine about running and stuff all the time and I have no one to blame but myself. That said - I am going to put forth the effort and work to improve. This is the life I chose and the one I fought for and I am not about to give up because it gets a little difficult. It is time to step up and prove I belong!
No more excuses!!
