5/2

This week so far:

Tuesday- 4
Friday- 3
Saturday- 3

Tomorrow I was going to do the 10K for the Autism run in Hamden. But they are saying thunder and lightning all morning :( Then sunny in the afternoon. So, I think if that is the case, I will stick to my schedule and do the 5 in the afternoon.

So, here's what I am learning about running. Each day I dread going. Like, I really think to myself "I hate running". Then I start running and the 1st mile feels like pure torture. I sometimes think the dentist would be better (and anyone who knows the teeth issues I have had the past 3 months knows I HATE the dentist) Then, once I get to the 2nd mile I wonder why I ever decided that running was a good idea at all. Then, miraculously, by the 3rd mile I feel good and think, "Okay, so maybe this isn't so bad." and on the 4th mile I sometimes think " Hmm...maybe I should go further today." Usually I come to my senses. I get home and feel great for going! I feel energized and out of any slump I may have been in before starting the run. I start planning my next run and go to bed that day happy I got out and ran.Then, I wake up the next day and dread going running all day.......running is definitely the closest I've come to a love/hate relationship!
