I am so proud of myself tonight!!! I was having kind of a rough day, just feeling groggy and sleepy. Nothing was really wrong, I was just having a hard time getting off my butt, yet driving myself crazy with boredom. A friend of mine kept telling me to go run. I’ve had this Umbridge medal for a little while now, but I hadn’t earned it yet, so it was still sitting in it’s package. It’s a 13k medal, so I decided to head out to the track and try for those 8 miles. I hit 8 and decided to push it to 10. I hit 10 and decided to try for a half marathon, cause hey, what’s another 5k. I gradually got slower, especially for those last 3 miles, but I just kept moving. It was long and boring. I did run on the trail around the park, since I got so sick of running in circles on the track. I saw a soccer game start and finish. I saw lots of people come and go. I stuck it out!
I’ve been nervous about my half marathon next month, but just this run today beat my last year’s half time! So I know I’ll at least do better than last year (though honestly I couldn’t do much worse.) I’m just feeling pumped! I did treat myself to some mexican food when I got home, cause I burned about a million calories, so even if I splurge, I’m still under my calorie goal for the day. Yay!
