Exercise hasn't been my priority the last few days, so I have not done as much as I should have. I have stuck to eating well though so it's not a total let down... The thing is, in the past an interruption would have made me give up I would talk myself out of it, rationalise the reasons why it was ok to give up... tell myself I'm not that bad... allow myself "treats" for the progress to date.. but I haven't. I got back into it today and I'm going to stick to it.
So today was a 5 minute warm-up followed by 22 mins of running, up from 20 mins last week and I ran it at 4.6km/hr up from 4.4km/hr last week. I thought I would fail... but I didn't. I told myself I had to do it - for those who would give anything to be able to run again.. I have the privilege of being alive and well and able - so I had to keep going. While I was running and wanting to give up I realised that I was actually just tired, I wasn't hurting, so I pushed through it and completed the run. I then walked for 33 mins to complete the hour.
Here's to keeping on... keeping on :)
