Workout Results 5/15

I am happy to say that I survived todays workout. I was hard for me. My afternoon run was terrible. It was so hot and I felt as if I was running with a weighed backpack on. I just felt so out of it. My pace was slow and I had to walk for a bit, but at least I got my miles in for the day. I wanted to stop running after about the first mile but it always feels so good to press on even on the tough runs. There will be good days and bad, but I have to keep pressing on! In one of my blogs I mentioned how I should never let time or my pace per mile be the determining factor as to whether my workout was a success. So today I am grateful that I once again got out there and did my best. Was it my fastest time, no, but I did what I could in that moment. I was not content with letting this day slip by without reaching and working hard, in that, I am very proud of myself. I have to remember this everyday....

"You will achieve grand dream, a day at a time, so set goals for each day, not long and difficult projects, but chores that will take you, step by step, toward your rainbow. Write them down, if you must, but limit your list so that you won't have to drag today's undone matters into tomorrow. Remember that you cannot build your pyramid in twenty-four hours. Be patient. Never allow your day to become so cluttered that you neglect your most important goal / to do the best you can, enjoy this day, and rest satisfied with what you have accomplished.” Og Mandino

I hope you all have a wonderful weekend! Keep reaching and working hard!

I confess that I was a total heat wimp today! It was 86 degrees this afternoon when I wanted to do my run, so I ended up just going to the gym and running there. I don't know how you do it in that Texas heat and humidity! Good for you for doing your best!

Wow I really like your blog! Very detailed, and intense workout. I really can identify with you when you say you wanted to quit after the first mile. running is always hard for me to do well at, and it always seems after the first mile I want to quit but if I just keep going I always hit some kind of zone that allows me to push for much farther than I first thought.
