Today's run was GRUUUUUUUELING!! I planned to do a light easy run of about 30 minutes. Thus, I was going to turn around at about 15 minutes, but I didn't turn around at that point because I thought I could take another route back in about the same time. However, the route I chose to take on the way back took nearly 30 more minutes!! The route back took me on a road that is under construction and is dripping with brand new steaming asphault!! Plus, it was 95 degrees when I was running around 5:30pm!! Anyways, I was STRRRRUGLING and I just kept thinking in my mind "Can I MENTALLY keep this up for another 4 months??" I am really lacking some confidence and can only respond with "I don't know."
And I don't think anything is wrong with that answer, because I really don't know if I can do this. I only know that I will only have the chance to do it if I keep pushing myself each day. It is not a defeatist attitude, it is just an attitude that I must bust my butt to get my confidence. I can't just falsely say I am so confident, I need to build that confidence with hard work. This is nothing I have ever done before, so we will see!!
All right, I'm gonna go get my next run in. Also, that last run was about 4 miles and it took me 44:07, however, it was a VERY hilly route, espsecially that back road with the construction.
