Do you guys ever bargain with yourself before or during a run? You know what I mean: do you say, “I’m supposed to run 4 miles today, but I can run 3 instead and then make it up Saturday.” Or “I’m going to run x amount of miles today” but then when it comes time to actually doing it, you bargain yourself down in mileage…just to get it done?
I do it all the time! I actually did my 4 miles today, but I kept telling myself that 3 miles was ok too.
Um, no it wasn’t Melissa. Just do the miles and get it done. So I did. But I like to make deals with myself. Sigh. It’s a process.
In other news, a friend posted this on her facebook page today and it really resonated with me:
Whoa dude. There is so much truth in that statement. I have some pretty major issues from being so overweight for a good portion of my life. I started gaining weight in 5th grade and didn’t lose all the weight until I was 29 years old. But I think I will have lasting inner turmoil from that forever. Maybe I need therapy. Who knows. But I do know that as much as it sometimes sucks to run and lift and workout, it sucked a lot more to be 150 pounds heavier.
