Had a good weekend running wise. Completed both my long runs, finally breaking the 2 mile mark again. And that felt great. And today went well, these are a little tricky because the transition from walk to sprint is not natural or smooth at this point. But all of these serve a purpose. They are all bricks in building myself back to my desired running level.
But sometimes it gets hard to not try for more, to not run when I should walk, to not sprint when I should just be running. I know that I need to follow and trust in the plan. I know I can trust it because the same type of plan got me through 3 Half marathons. But boy, there are some days; when I pass a part of a route that I used to run all the time, or have to cut my route short instead of doing the full thing I used to do; that I just want to do that whole route. I know I am not there, and that I am on pace to get back there, but it feels like I should be there already and why not push it and try?
Keeping that voice in check, while still pushing to stick with the plan is definitely not easy. But at the same time I know it will be worth it. So I stick with it.
