A New Outlook (Part 2)

Running
From the beginning I believed that this would be the best training summer of my life. I thought everything would be perfect. Hungry to race again I knew that the way to get the times I wanted was to train my butt off. It started with disappointment when I found out my miles were cut from 80 to 60. Then the knee injury came and I was left in shambles. No motivation.

Then I began to take care of myself. Started doing different kinds of things to get myself back to 100%. As I marked off the workouts after completion I began to get more motivation.

Then came the realization. This is my training schedule. These are the miles I was assigned to do. So I began to start getting my priorities straight. I mean I have no job and nothing to do most days, so why does my schedule have so many missed runs. That's when I began to accept my responsibilities. I love what I do so why miss out on it if I don't have someone to run with.

The rest of the summer will be filled with running. No days off.
