Woke up this morning and discovered this link on msn.com. Fortunately for me I have discovered that I have already incorporated many of these into my lifestyle. There is always room for improvement as I well know. Making plans to progress and a renewed commitment to excellence in fitness for myself.
15 Habits from msn.com
Breakfast, a workout, and weather watching. It looks like snow possible tomorrow at the time of day that could cause a snow day. We already have a shortened week with final exams on Thursday and Friday. Can't control the weather, but do control whether or not I get to the gym.
In fact I did get to the gym and stepped up onto the treadmill. I completed 3.75 miles. A two minute walking warm up, 30 minutes at under 10 minute miles and four minutes of cool down. The start was a little challenging, but once I got going it felt good though a little harder than I was hoping.
It is strange that now I fear failing. That for some reason unbeknownst to be I will not complete a 5K. There is not rationale for this, none that I can think of that makes any sort of sense. I simply do not want to fail, and the logical reasoning of: not doing it at all means I can't fail because I never attempted it. Is somehow more powerful that the logic of: not trying is failing. Know I see how and why I may have ceased in the first place in my previous running regiments. (Except for the heel spur/plantar faciitis.)
Devil on one shoulder, angel on the other. After completing my run I wonder if I should have attempted to get the full four miles in or am I slacking off by finishing as I did. I do believe I did a little more than I had set out to do and should be content with my progress. Then I wonder if I am trying to make too much progress too quickly which may in turn reignite the tendinitis?
Mondays on long weekends get you thinking of all sorts of things.
