Run number three completed for this week. Not as bad as the last two, but still not as great as I want to be. I think I'm putting too much on myself, stressing me out in doing this. It was, is supposed to be fun & a stress reliever right? What happened? I am thinking too much, that is what! I am over processing and not taking my 'me' time for what it is supposed to be. A time for me to de-stress, get some workout in, and just let go! Instead it is as if I am competing with myself!
Perhaps it has a lot to do with me feeling as if I'm keeping my workout partner back. She is fitter than I am, she is younger than I am, and she can go much faster than me. Plus I told her that I don't want to hold her back because I know she will be running a marathon in a month's time! "It's a half-marathon, a half-marathon" she tells me. Then she says to me that it's OK, she doesn't mind. I'm glad to hear that. I made her run ahead of me a bit and told her I will meet up with her and I promise not to stop running. She asked me to promise not to stop running, and I didn't! She made her way ahead of me, then turned around and ran back, and then we completed our run! Isn't she the greatest?!
