hitting the 3 mile mark.

yesterday i went running with mom and marlee.
i've been sick again this week but i was determined to do it.
three miles out the path we were on ended so we were trying to decide where to go.
i had a melt down.
i felt awful.
and i was so defeated.
mom said, "it's okay-we can just walk back."
i cried for the next mile.
i was so frustrated that i haven't done this training as much as i'd like.
that i don't have time to do it all.
and then my body isn't able to do the things i want it to.
my crying turned into being about stressing over school.
it just continued until i felt better.
although i was so frustrated, it was just what i needed.
i felt so much better afterwards...
not necesarily in the running sense.
but i know that i'll still be able to reach the goals i've set.
it will all be okay in the end.

Slacking...

So I really, really try to run as much as I can. Unfortunately, that's not very often. I feel like I have almost lost the ability to run. However, I've been going every morning at 5:45 so I am determined to make this work. I will cross that finish line 1 month and 1 day from today... it just might not be as fast as I had hoped for.
