This was a “let’s run on Thursday” plan with Jen. So we met up… and it was miserable. And I KNOW everyone says “Running is 90% mental.” And I countered that the whole time saying “I hate this… I hate this… this is absolutely miserable.” Because it WAS. I hated it.
Jen said “Why? Why do you hate it?” And I thought about it and analyzed it and here’s what I came up with: I am heavy! And it hurts when my body bangs to the ground! And I haven’t worked back up to running again or even halfway enjoying jogging.
By the end of the “run” (ha ha) I remembered what it was that got me into enjoying the jogging scene (no I was not enjoying myself, but I did recall what might help me enjoy myself in the future). And that is music and deep breathing. I do enjoy listening to my breathing and hearing myself get healthier (that’s what I like to think of it as). All the while listening to my little ipod and encouraging myself. So, maybe I need to get out there for a few jogs on my own.
Time’s a’tickin’….
