So, yesterday I wanted to get outdoors and run. So many people advised me against it, as the roads were covered with ice. This is really no time for me to sustain an injury so I ran on the treadmill. Since I wanted to run outside so badly, I was a bit bummed about having to tread it out and lost a bit of my motivation; which made running difficult. It wasn't long before that negative thought of stopping my run after 1 mile entered my head. It was at that point that I had to check myself. All the motivational pics that I post went through my mind and today's pic stuck. If I don't push myself then change will not happen. No one can want better health, fitness, or quality of life more for me than I want for myself. I have to be my own motivation, period. I ended up running 4.04 miles yesterday in my regularly allotted time of one hour. I am trying to work my way up to running 4.97 miles (8k) in 1hour and 15 minutes. I could have probably done that yesterday, however I am going to practice patience and work to prevent injury. I am determined to make it happen and as long as I am determined, it will happen.
Today's challenge: Practice positive self talk. Tell yourself you can. Let all negative thoughts go. Be your biggest fan; your own motivation.
