wanted: consistency

While I was running today, the voices in my head & I were having a conversation about how things are going. Everyone was all a chatter and felt free to voice their opinion about my progress or lack there of. I have been attempting to run and for a year now. I should be well on my way to bigger & better things. Three miles should be nothing to me at this point. Although my speed has increased ( a little) I have this mindset that 3 is as far as I can go and then I’m done. Must get past this. So I went almost 4 on Wednesday and then just 2.5 today.
My goal is to get to the point where I can just run 3 miles every time, without thinking about it and talking myself out of doing less. When is it going to be “just 3miles” , ” a quick 3 miles”. That way I can eventually start to increase my mileage and start again with the back and forth what I think I can or cannot do.
17 days til my first 5k of the year. Must put those voices to rest and shove them to the back of the brain.
Have a great weekend !!! Hopefully I’ll have sort of knitting to show you that actually looks like something!
Ha ha! I have a Dr.’s excuse not to run!!!!!
Seriously though I think you should see someone about them voices in your head.
Hey Mel!! Hope you have another good run!! I have actually started to run on the treadmill when I don’t go to exercise class. This for me is HUGE…it’s only in spurts, but it’s there! You can do it…3 miles to me sounds like a marathon!!
