November 11th- 3.2 mile run
With having today off of work and no classes I had some extra free time to get a mid-day run through campus. I was surprised how quiet campus was, it made my run go fast as I was able to take the outside world while running. I decided not to use headphones today, but to be present while on my run. This was a great change and I really enjoyed this freedom of taking in the world around me.
November 12th- 2 mile treadmill run
Tonight I was on a time crunch and wasn’t able to get to the gym until 8 pm. I decided to sprint a few miles to get the blood pumping and start sweating. Although I didn’t get 3 miles in, it still felt good to push myself with my mile time and run the stress off.
November 13th- Rest
November 14th- Abs
November 15th- 4 mile run
Today I was able to get outside and enjoy Lake Padden. I got around the lake at a decent pace, but decided to push myself a little further and venture to hit 3.5 miles. To my surprise, I hit 3.5 and decided to push an extra 1/2 mile to make it an even 4 miles.
I’m so glad I did. It felt great to push myself like that. There really is something to be said about the first 3 miles of a run are the hardest. Normally when I push past the 3 miles I find myself more motivated to continue. I guess thats the Runner’s high kicking in?
