Yesterday-the ugly

So yesterday I had to run.  I literally had to, had to, had to run.  If I didn't run there was the possibility that I might never get started.  It was the last thing I wanted to do.  BUT at 9pm I went and ran 3miles.  It was not fast, it was not beautiful but let me tell you it felt good afterwards.

Why had I waited so long to get back into running?!?  Sure it hurt and was embarrassing how slow I was going but then I started thinking about it in a different way.  Why should I be embarrassed that my face is the color of a tomato?  Why should I worry that someone is judging my pace?  All it comes down to is that today (yesterday) I ran.  And despite how slow I went, it was faster than I ran the day before...which since I didn't run would be...infinity?  Talk about slow!

When are you and dad registering?  Greg has been running as well.  He's excited for the 1/2 never having run one himself.  It should be a great weekend!

  1. Let's register sooner than later. That way we won't back out!

  2. Good reminder as I contemplate not going to Boot Camp. Being last there is better then being first to the grave!

  3. DLF>DNF>DNS; in other words Dead Last Finish is better than Did Not Finish is better than Did Not Start.
