Day Three: This is Going to Suck

Day 3... or is it 4? I don't know, it feels like day 978.

Saturday was my first long run(walk in my case). I dragged my body down to the local high school with all the positive feelings in the world! I did the numbers. This is totally doable!

Started my gps tracker, pressed  play on my music and started my warm up lap.

Warm up done. Let's kick this bitch up a notch!

Jog.

Nope, nope, NOPE!

I did 2 miles in 30 minutes.I think I ran almost a half mile. I am not proud of that. I thought it would be easier. That means my average mile is... 15 minutes! That is within the minimum pace for the half marathon! Woooo! Wooo! Wo-  That would be perfect if 13.1 miles was actually only 2!

Ugh! This is going to suck.

To Do List:
1. Learn to breathe. Thought I knew how to do this, I mean, I do it all day every day. I was wrong
2. Learn to run. My form sucks... makes my shins hurt.
3. Get better.
4. Swear more.


Here is the kicker. I went from feeling like I was going to die, to feeling like I could lift up a car. Almost made the run worth it! Man! They totally need to come up with a drug that gives you the feeling you have just after a workout!

I celebrated with a cheeseburger. So worth it!

Working on fine tuning my diet, going low carb, low sugar... On day four with no fast food and day three with no soda. Yes. My head does hurt. Thanks for asking.

Two days later, I am not as sore as I thought I would be. My plan is to wake up early tomorrow and do a walk around the neighborhood... Well, at least that is the "plan." I may just sleep a little longer and visualize myself walking. That should work, right?

Until next time!

P.S. Anyone watch Ping Pong Summer?

P.P.S. I hope I get motivated soon.
