Seems like every other post I make this spring (and now summer) are all saying the same thing: I getting back into running again. Well it is true, I am getting back into it again. Too much going on with work and music to make time to run. But I know I must, and I know I will!
This time I have run in three of the last four days. Nothing spectacular, mostly slow 10k distances. The good thing about ging so slow is I know I can improve! I feel miles away from a plateau!
Before I started running again this week I was mired in a non-running funk of sorts. I felt out of shape, fat and like I was losing all my fitness. Even after one run I really noticed and improvement in my sense of self worth. I instantly no longer felt fat and the fact that I was able to do one of my typical 10k distances without too much difficult made me feel as if I have maintained my level of fitness. It is truly amazing the way a run can make over my entire mental state of being. Now I just need to get faster again.
