Dropping Time, Not Bombs

...what a cliché hippy thing to say, haha.

Last 5K time: 31:07 (December 3rd)
Today's 5K workout: 25:25

That's a difference of 5:82! Awesome.

Recently I've been struggling with having the right mentality for running, or rather, a positive mentality. I don't know if it's because I'm home and I'm starting to fall into old habits (hem), but I have definitely been struggling to get up and go lately. Once I've started, though, my only concern is finishing, while it is important, it is my only concern while running. I want to enjoy the run, not just the high afterwards.

My current goal is to focus on harboring an overall positive mentality about each run. Going into it, doing it, and coming out of it. I don't expect to enjoy every run, but I want to learn to love running itself.

Today's run was all right. I wish I had done it before I had eaten a feast. I felt heavy throughout most of it.  Although I like the quiet of the night, the late night drivers make me nervous. I'd like to work on either becoming a morning person or implementing a specific time to run every day. Tomorrow I'm going for 4 miles.  I don't know why it seems so daunting. I also intend to find another race to start training for. It's much easier to run with a tangible goal.

Peace.
