It's been a long time since I posted here, for that I apologize. I also have to be very honest in saying that I have been extremely inconsistent with my workouts and also my runs. My last few runs have been very unsatisfying, they have left me more tired and breathless. I could blame it on winter weight but it is probably more about my absolute inconsistent running routine.
Running inconsistently is futile and is really discouraging. My body just ends up aching for a few days and then it's hard to get back out there and do it because of the horrible-ness that was the last run. I'm at the point where I can't really believe I actually was disciplined enough to train for a half-marathon. It's possible that I trained out of fear of collapsing on the race course or seriously injuring myself. I was also driven because it was such a challenge that I never thought I would take on in my life.
So now I'm starting small again at the 5K level. I have decided to make a schedule and stick very closely to it. I have always had slight difficulty staying disciplined to something without having a very tangible goal. There is a 5K in April that I am going to attend. I will try to continue to attend races because I really do enjoy running, especially when in the act I feel strong, like I could run for days.
I'm hoping this blog will be updated more because I have been more disciplined as well as running in more races. It's been over a year since I ran my last race so I think it's time I get back to the starting line!
Run disciplined my friends.
