So I ran about 2.5 miles today, it took 24:05. Knowing it was a 2-3 mile day, I started off SOOOO confident because that seemed so easy, but I really began to struggle after the first mile. I did not walk at all though, so I'm proud of that. 2 minutes into my run my heart started hurting again, I slowed down a little but just kept going. After about 8 minutes the pain went away.
So yeah, my confidence is really lacking. It is just SUUCH a mental toll to look at my training and seeing that in just a few weeks I am suppose to be doing 7-8 mile runs 3x a week!! It is just hard to believe that I will be doing that when my longest run has only been 5.5 miles. Beyond that, the time committment behind running 7-8 miles during the week is tough!! I RRRREALLY need to manage my time brilliantly to make this happen. I don't know, we'll see...3-4 miles tomorrow I have.
Also, since Brooke and I will be going to Wichita this weekend I'll have to adjust my schedule. Therefore, Friday will not be an off day and I will run the easy 2-3 miles. Then take Saturday off and run 6 miles on Sunday and back to cross training on Monday--or so that's the plan!!
All right, let's hope I can mentally do it tomorrow!! I guess just taking it one day at a time is the approach to take.
