[100d-challenge]

Low on motivation, but I’ve finally managed to drag myself out for this run. 💪🏼

[100d-challenge]

I’m all dressed up in my running gear, the sun is even shining (for the first time in more then a week!), I have my audiobook ready. I’m all set for this first run in a (long) while, but it’s so hard to actually get started! I strongly feel like I don’t belong. My body and brain is resisting this with all their power. I’ve turned home again just at the start of my track before. I’m just really afraid of looking stupid and heavy and slow. It’s super destructive.

But I know I just need to get started. Already tomorrow the resistance within me will be weaker. And in a couple of weeks it’ll feel natural to do this again. I’ll still be heavy and slow, but lighter and faster and than today. And I won’t feel stupid. I’ll feel happy and grateful that I got started 💪🏼💪🏼

I’ve had a longer break from running after a second round of shin splints. Disappointed and depressing break, but I guess I pushed it too far. I can really feel how good these runs are for my mental health. ❤️

Only running 1K today, per my physical therapist order, and then I’m going to walk the rest of the 5K. Really hoping it will be fine 🤞🏼

No Days Off.

I had a moment today in the sport goods section of Wal Mart this evening. I went a little crazy and ended up spending $70. I bought a heart rate/calorie monitor (watch), a waist trimmer belt that doesn't even fit (yet..lol), an armband to hold my phone while I workout, and a thermos that can hold your card and money. I am crazy. I am going to try running outside tomorrow for the first time in a very long time. I am...excited? Daily work outs is the plan. I'm in it for life.
