I started out tonight's run with little confidence and motivation. I worked up to an 8:30 min/mile pace for 2 miles. I was about half way through the movie 'The Blind Side' with Sandra Bullock. It's an inspiring and heartwarming movie, and just what I needed to get back on the horse. By mile three, I increased my speed to 8 min/miles for another mile before going balls to the wall - 7:30 min/miles for the next three miles, and finishing it up with 2 miles at 7:03 min/mile pace. It felt great! I cooled down for a half mile and did a bit of stretching.
Sometimes, you just have to just push yourself and you'll find that you can do more than you ever thought possible.
I just hope I can find the strength to stay on the horse - think positive, train hard, and give it my all!
