Day 48

Ran today at the gym. It is such a struggle for me to get there. I already don't like going, but fitting it in my busy day is so hard. Regardless, I went and I ran 4 miles. I was feeling good and I could have gone a while longer. Unfortunately, it was 5:45 when I started due to kids naps, traffic, etc. I gave the kids a snack but we usually eat dinner around 6:00. They had fun at the kids club though, and they were troopers about eating. Like usual, the first mile to 2 miles were blah. Once I hit mile 2 though, I could have gone forever. There is one thing I like about running at the gym. If the person next to me is running, I try to outlast them. I also try to make sure I am running faster. I guess I am just competitive, but it helps motivate me to do more. Side note, I usually win. Although, in all fairness, they don't know it is a game. But I usually "outlast." Today I had a good competition going, but at 6:30 I figured I needed to get my kids and feed them. I will probably take the day off tomorrow since I usually run better when I don't do it on consecutive days. I will try to hit the gym again on Thursday and hopefully get 5 or 6 in.
