So my in laws are coming into town and I know that training will be harder to complete because I should be the gracious hostess. Truth be told, Martha Stewart has set that bar so high, I would like to meet any woman who has been able to meet it. Needless to say, I was extra motivated to go farther than my usual 2 miles. So I decided that tonight, after everyone was settled in, I would go for a 3 mile run. As usual, I did not run the entire course, but hey, I was happy that I was out running, which is rare.
I can see that I am building strength. But I am so impatient with results. Maybe my mind is warped from all this instant technology and gratification. Anything I want, I can have it in an instant in this life. I want cookies, I go to the store, I don't have to go through the entire hour of labor to get it. I want to be entertained, I have a TV and internet that will instantly offer laughs. I ultimately want to be able to achieve my goal quickly to start working on the new goal. My goal is to run 3 miles so that I may start working on running 5 miles, without stopping. I feel that I should be able to run 3 miles because I want it badly. However, I have to recognize the limitations of my body. After being sedentary for so long, I have to give it time to catch up with my heart's desire, which in makes my brain what to curse the rest of my body out. I always knew that this would not be an easy process and I am now truly facing the reality.
