I feel like I am getting into the groove with running. By no means am I fast, but at least I don’t feel a lot of pain when I run now. My right shin aches a little, but my knees and lungs are doing fine.
I am working late tonight, and expect to continue into the morning. Tonight wasn’t a natural fit for me to say “hey, let’s spend an hour to go run!”. One hour of running means one less hour of sleep tonight.
But Coach is keeping me honest. He wanted me to run 4 miles tonight, so I dutifully obeyed. Thankfully, I put the notation in my work calendar, otherwise I had totally forgotten.
I have settled into running my loop in the neighborhood instead of going back to the track. No small reason is that the track isn’t lit at night, and I have been running after dark.
Sept 24 Obstacles
- Very busy at work.
- I had forgotten that today was the day for my next run.
Sept 24 Solutions and Motivators
- Putting Coach’s schedule into my work calendar solved the ‘I forgot’ problem.
- Keeping to Coach’s schedule is a priority for me. Not only did it force me to run tonight when I would have ordinarily skipped, it kept me running longer than I would have on my own. Thanks Coach! Nike+ is doing its job so far.
Next run is 3 miles on Saturday.
Stats
- Distance: 4.55 miles
- Time: 48:49
- Course: Eldorado Loop
