Me & Running

Me and running don't always see eye to eye. Some days it hurts more than others. But it doesn't mean I don't do it. I deal with it and I keep running because not everything that is good for you always feels good to you. Every day is the day.-- Lance Armstrong

Today was that kind of day. I ran 7 miles this morning at the river. I wanted to run on the soft, flat surface because my knees were feeling stiff. I was ready to stop after the first 3 mile lap but I kept going because I know that I'll never make my goal if I start slacking off now. I also know that I do things based on my commitment not based on how I'm feeling at the moment. The truth is that on a day like today, GA asphalt hot, I prefer to stay inside and do nothing. I'm not really a morning person but the heat motivates me to get up and get out before the temp starts to rise.
Running at the river is a great way to start the day.
