Mid-day 2-mile run - 10 More Days to the Race!
Today's workout: 2 miles + strength training.
So I didn't work out right in the morning like I'd hoped, bu I did have my workout earlier today-- before lunch! It felt good to get the run in and then refuel with food that, strangely enough, tastes a lot better after a run. :)
I am still determined to do a morning workout. Tomorrow is a rest day, but on Saturday I hope to be able to write that I did my workout in the morning. Keeping a daily journal is definitely teaching me something about commitment. Not just writing a public journal, but writing one EVERY DAY, makes me think: "If I don't do this workout, I'll have to admit it in my public journal" or "I really want to be able to say to everyone that I did a workout first thing in the morning!"
It doesn't even matter whether 2 people or 200 people are reading. Keeping a journal and committing to writing in it every single day really makes you conscious of the goals you're committing to, and is a wonderful way to stay accountable to yourself! You can also look back and read your own words, and be happy about not only making progress, but the fact that it's a feat in itself to faithfully write an honest entry every day.
My strength training will be this evening. I plan to do abs, pushups, pullups, and lunges-- mainly a legs and shoulders day. I love this workout because it requires no equipment at all, except maybe a pullup bar.
Tomorrow's workout: REST! Phew!
