when the mind is weaker than the flesh
that was me today. i lost it. totally lost the mental game. i was running along, looked down and saw that i was only at mile three of a four mile run and i just lost it. i started crying… crying?… there’s no crying in running!… which really threw my hubby. he didn’t know what to say or do to make it better for me. and it’s stupid because i wasn’t hurting and i wasn’t even that drained. i just lost it. i managed to push through and finish my run but it was highly unsatisfying. i felt like i had failed and am highly discouraged becuase it was only four miles. i have to do 13.1. before the week is out, i have to do six. i need to find a way to gain better control over my mental game. i’ve never lost it that badly. *sigh* so, today was 4.16 mi in 51:27 for an average pace of 12:23.
