Today was the third day in a row that I was able to convince myself to run. I was pleasantly surprised when today there was no heel dragging, procrastination or lack of motivation to go running, and I even ended up doing somewhat of a trial run for next month's 10K. At the very least today's run proved that my body is capable of running 6.2 miles, although not very efficiently.
Accompanied by Eminem's new album, Recovery, I'm slowing starting to become comfortable being uncomfortable. Today's humidity, threat of rain, painful uphills, and long desolate stretches of road would usually have been enough to keep me inside with my usual snack of hummus and tortilla chips, but today, as depressing as the circumstances were, I was able to ignore all of the imperfections of the situation, and keep putting one foot in front of the other.
