So I almost completely ended up taking the month of July off :( NO BUENO! Between traveling over 3,000 miles (no excuse for not running), temps being triple digits the entire month (a moderate excuse since the lows were in the 90s that entire time) and being just plain lazy- I had a horrible time being motivated and didnt do a thing! Theres my honesty report.
BUT I decided to get back at it with August. The hardest thing for myself and others when you fail is to start again, for no other reason that you are ashamed to admit you quit, failed or were just to lazy to continue- I did all three to some extent but I am NOT going to let it keep me from starting back.
Tonight I ran for the THIRD day in a row after this month hiatus- and it feels good to feel the sweat again BUT I am VERY slow! And that stinks b/c I wasnt very fast back when I was running consistently.
On a funny note- this town has got a CAT problem! Most runners probably never even notice 1 cat along a run b/c they are so insignificant. Well tonight I kept count b/c there were sooooo many! On one 3.5 mile run, if I count the cat that was on our the hood of our car when I left, I saw FIVE FLIPPN' CATS!!! Seriously!?!?!!??
Not sure how many of you are out there. Encouraged. Care. Or whatever. But maybe I am writing this for my own good to be honest with myself. If you are there will you let me know by leaving a comment for me?
