I could have made every excuse in the book yesterday. I was up at 5am and didn’t get home, with time to myself, until 8pm. But instead of calling it a day, and lounging in front of a movie, I convinced myself to get in my long run!
I am lowly realizing these changes in my decisions are becoming more frequent. It’s a powerful moment when you finally see yourself as the person who runs. Not the person who HAS to run.
9 miles @ 8:34 pace on the treadmill. I had some calf pain from two days before that bothered me for the first 4 miles (2/10 pain) but then went away. I think I am just a little tight and going to keep it in mind to not overdo it.
