I don’t know what was wrong today I just didn’t feel the groove or whatever it is. I made it the full 2.75 miles but it wasn’t easy. Maybe it was lack of hydration (water cooler is broken at work) or eating for comfort not fuel (at 3 miles that shouldn’t matter). Either way it was a struggle. But I’m not going to let that get me down, not even close! I posted something on runnersworld.com about enjoying the journey.
Here is what I wrote:
“The journey and struggle are what make the goals worth while and that much more gratifying. Personally, I would rather run a marathon and say I trained for over a year and put in XXXX miles, and suffered and came back from X to be able to run this marathon than say “yeah I ran for a few months then decided to run a marathon. But that’s just me.”
Granted today was but a pebble in the road but each pebble help in their own way to make the road what it is.
Congratulations on making it all the way to Week 8! You’re almost done.
I’m sorry you had one of those days. It happens to all of us.
