I got off work yesterday and actually had an opportunity to run with the sun still up. I threw on my running clothes, left my Garmin behind, and went out to do my 5 mile loop. I was a little tight for the first 2 miles, but got loosened up and felt much better physically. However, I wasn't mentally "present." It was a beautiful spring afternoon, I was off of work early, and getting a run in before dinner - everything should have added up to a great run. But I was just bored and had to continually convince myself not to take a shortcut home.
I think I'm getting a little concerned about my event. I am inside "8 weeks until" and was finally starting to feel like I could cover the distance, and my swimming classes have been postponed until April 13. This is just a platform for additional doubts and bad thoughts. Oh well, I can't do anything about what takes place on May 9 right now. All I can do is acknowledge the obstacle and train as well as I can TODAY.
*** Last night I ran 5 miles in about 45-50 minutes (no Garmin or watch). Tonight I have a 40 minute run. I have reworked my schedule for this week to fit my longer workouts (usually Saturday and Sunday) into Thursday and Friday because of my camping/canoeing trip this weekend with the guys.
See ya,
Danny.
