Sunshine and running shorts and finally decent weather

Hey everyone!

Well-today was the day.  I finally went on a run.

Shocking, no?

Well...kinda.  It was a nice day and since it's one of my days off I had absolutely no excuse ready this time.  So I went on a run (which it has been 28 days since my last run) and MADE MYSELF DO INTERVALS.  Ugh-here's the thing, I HATE intervals.  I'd rather run full out and be done.  But I made myself pace. I made myself listen to my body.  I made myself...act like a real runner.   It's weird.  But if it gets me to my race in one piece I am all for it.  And while my time made me want to grit my teeth-it was a pace that: a)I could actually run the race at and still be okay (which is saying something) and b) it's helping my mental focus.  I am making myself do something I don't like-it's almost the opposite of human nature.  I am by no means an expert on it but I'm learning and that's what counts.

Short post today-but since I actually ran I thought I'd share :)

Until next time, keep running strong!
