I am so disappointed in myself. I can’t believe I did not do
ANYTHING today in terms of my not training for a marathon. I didn’t even walk
the puppies. I have no excuse other than the laziness. I can’t even blame the
devil. He’s too busy causing issues in other people’s lives than to be bothered
with keeping me from walk/running. I’m doing a good job at that myself.
Let’s start from the beginning. I got up at 6:00 am and it
was totally dark outside. It was raining heavily and showed no signs of letting
up. I had already decided that I was going to run/walk on the treadmill
sometime in the middle of the night so the rain did not deter me from a darn
thing. Upon getting up, I went downstairs, let the puppies out and then fed
them. That took no more than an hour. Today was the first day of school but my
children are older so there was nothing for me to do other than kiss them
good-bye.
I finished with the puppies and children and had plenty of
time to head downstairs to walk/run but instead of going downstairs, I went
right back upstairs and went back to bed. I want to say it was because I was up
until about 3:30 am but I’ve run/walked after staying up before so that wasn’t
an issue. Even so, I only slept for another 45 minutes and still had plenty of
time to run/walk before starting work.
After waking up for the second time, I got myself together
and put on my workout clothes and had every intention to head downstairs to the
exercise room. Somehow on the way down, I stopped in my office to do something
real quick. Real quick turned into a half hour. A half our turned into an hour
and before you knew it, the day was gone.
It rained pretty much all day so I didn’t take the dogs for
a walk and I really did not want to go down in the basement to run/walk on the
treadmill. I HAVE to run/walk in the morning because once my day starts, it’s
hard to squeeze in a 45-minute run/walk until the end of the day.
I can’t wait until tomorrow so I can get my butt on that
treadmill or run/walk through the neighborhood. I can’t go to the track until
the weekend, which I think may be part of my problem. I don’t like run/walking
on the treadmill and I didn’t have enough enthusiasm to convince myself to do
it. It is suppose to rain again
tomorrow. I hope not. I really need to get in a 5k and it’s going to take every
ounce of motivation for me to do it on the treadmill. I guess tomorrow will
tell.
Until then…
Ms. P.
