Friday was supposed to be day 3 of week 3, but pain postponed day 3 to today. I'm not sure if taking an extra day in between sessions was the cause or what, but this morning's session was a royal pain in the ass, body rather. I felt like an old car with no shocks. Each step was jarring-- my back, my thighs, my calves. AND my toes hurt from breaking in new tennis shoes. Why I chose to wear them when I knew I'd be playing a person who would make me run all over, is beyond me. AND (yes, there's another whiny statement coming) AND, I got a stitch in my side. Today is the first day I've gotten a stitch since the first week. Remember that previous post when I said my next goal was to stop scowling when I ran? Yeah, didn't happen today. Didn't realize how badly till I got home and saw the look on my face in this pic. Click on it to get the full glory of the scowl. I look a bit like an angry yet wary squirrel. Kinda felt that way too.
But! I did it. I finished day 3 of week 3. Scowl on my face, hissing profanities, chanting weird songs in a loop in my head to keep a rhythm, I finished.
Going backward, here's a photo from the start of the session. I like it because you can't see the scowl, but you can see the pretty park.
Awesome, you are my hero! Keep at it girl. You're inspiring me.
ReplyDeleteAww Jane! Than you for saying that. If I can do finish this, I'll feel like a hero. Sounds melodramatic, I know, but it's true. Its such a small thing for so many people, but for me it really is a big deal.
ReplyDeleteNothing small about it at all. It certainly would be a big deal for me as well. My problem has always been following something through to the end. I get easily distracted or bored whatever. Rarely do I find the will power or whatever it is that is required to finish just for the sake of finishing. That's why you're inspiring me.
