Today's Run
(It was a really good run, but the link isn't working so here are the details:
workout - 100% score / 4.62 miles / 00:10:57 pace / 50:37 min / 692 cal.)
Well a run like that couldn't have come at a better time! It has been a tough couple of weeks from a mental stand point. I have done all of my scheduled training, and then some. But I have been having a real hard time with my eating discipline. Culminating in a binge yesterday when we had pizza at the office for lunch. I know that I have not been eating very well for the last week and a half. Schedule disruptions, distractions etc. have all worn away a lot of my discipline.
The most positive thing is that I haven't stopped recording all of my meals, even when I blow it out like yesterday. Which is a really good thing, because I can use the information to find out what I have been doing wrong, what I have been doing right, and what I need to change.
Plus the end of the school year is really excruciating for the kids. Their morale is low. Every day lately has been a never ending tale of woe. "My Head hurts, my tummy hurts, I'm tired, etc." It just doesn't end. And that really wears away at me.
Plus Kim has been sick, her cold has lasted longer than usual, likely because she went on the school trip last week. Which has also had its mental wear and tear. And last, the Colorado weather is just flat screwing with us: 70's sunny and shorts weather one day, cold and snow the next.
So I needed a real solid run today, to get myself mentally back on the right track. And to feel good about where I am on my training track for the big prize. And to feel confident going into the race on Saturday.
Now I just need to get myself right with my food discipline.
I can do it.
I can set a menu, accumulate a stack of leftovers.
I can keep myself to just eating what I bring to work.
I just need to turn my thinking around to get back on track.
