I missed my run Friday, just didn't feel right, stayed home from work with Danny, who was also under the weather. Then Sunday I didn't feel up to running when I got up, I was exhausted from the previous day. But I finally got up the energy and got out the door and ran.
Today I got up on time, went and did my run. Really my best run of the year, turned in a real solid effort and 12 minute mile.
The lesson I am learning is that I just cannot let that 1 miss affect me long term, I've got to move on and just tackle the next scheduled workout. And that is exactly what I did. And I felt really good as a result, not just because I didn't let that miss screw me up. But also because I had such a good run, holding a real good pace for a longer time.
My focus is on 2 things right now: make sure I run, and when I do follow my pace. Because I am trusting in the app to get me up to the desired speeds. And not trying to push myself so much that I cannot make the next run. It isn't all easy right now, getting this started is not easy, but at least I can say I am doing it.
