Pushed a little harder and as a result got in a great run, cleared some mental cobwebs

Dear James, Daniel and Emily,

Today's Workout

After all the doubt and distractions I was a little nervous about the run today. But I pushed myself to not just run but to not stop running, even if I ended up going a little slower, the goal was to run the entire time, with no walking breaks. And I did it, I refused to let myself slow down.

I think I have let myself get mentally bogged down a little bit lately, and distracted by little things: the dog, water, weather etc. So today I just forced myself to run, not worry about anything else. And gladly I was able to do it. As a result I think I may have to make 1 big change: stop taking the dog with me on my long runs. I need the focus on those longer runs, and while she has been a great companion she can also distract me mentally.

I'll just have to carve out some time in the evenings for some walks with her, and maybe convince Kim & James to step up and take her out some as well. She deserves the exercise, but right now I need a break from her on the runs.
