Getting out there tonight was harder than last night. Probably because I didn't get a day off, and I won't until next Monday. My long run this week is only 10 miles so that means getting my weekly mileage in with more short runs. I don't really mind, in theory, but getting out the door is another thing.
I felt better than last night at least. I waited until AFTER dinner this time and I had much more get-up-an-go in my legs. I think my metabolism is finally starting to pick up because weight is coming off. I have not really lost any weight since starting my training which has really surprised me. I am trying not to allow weight concerns to enter into this training because that is not what it is about. That being said, weight has been a huge concern of mine for my entire life. I never felt thin enough as a young girl, and being in dance clothes so much of the time, facing mirrors and other very skinny girls made it even more difficult. I have struggled with over-eating and under-eating throughout my entire life and I am ready to let it go. I know that being physical and pushing myself definitely helps me focus more on health than weight. I have to eat carbs in order to move my body this far and so I am feeling my love/hate relationship with food melt away.
I will be 40 on Saturday and I plan to spend the second half of my life being comfortable in my own skin (and cellulite).
