H-M TD 05

3 mile run tonight. 35:53, pace = 11:57

Pretty happy with myself for making it through 5 days of training. I'm never feeling super excited about running after work, but I'm proud for motivating myself to get dressed and out the door. Thought today about what is so great about running b/c there are plenty of times while I am actually running where I'm like "this totally sucks. Why the crap am I out here?" But I'm just now remembering those few golden times during tonight's run where I'm thinking "this feels really good" or "wow I feel great, this is a nice run". So I guess it has its moments.

Did my first strengthening schedule made up by M. Um thanks for making me feel like dying. New goal in addition to not dying while running: not dying while strength training. I did okay on some of the exercises, but omg some just killed. I'm clearly going to have to work up to some of this. Lame. But hopefully it will help with my overall goal (not dying).

Tomorrow is cross training and I'm actually excited about it b/c I plan to sit my butt on a bike and pedal. It will hurt, but I will be stationary. And that is something I'm used to :D
