I failed...
My goal was to run 3 miles today. I was unable to even complete the first mile. I'm telling you this because it's just as important that I acknowledge my failures as well as my successes.
Oh, and since I appear to be officially "blogging" now, I might as well do it right. I'll begin using "Moveable Type" sometime this week. I've already got it installed, but I need to finish configuring it (styles mostly).
I almost didn't run at all. As a matter of fact, I got about 20 feet and turned around for a moment. But that just made me angry. I turned back around and ran on. But my stomach was in bad shape and I turned back at the half way point. I was very angry about it but I knew if I pushed it I would just sleep poorly and have a difficult day at work. And there was no way I was going to complete 3 miles.
My goal to run a marathon is more real to me now than it was when I began running 3 weeks ago. But if I'm going to try to become an athlete, I'm going to have to start training and eating like one. I ate terribly this weekend and now I'm paying for it. For the past few weeks I've been eating better than I have over the past 10 years. This weekend, I blew it. But if I'm going to run a marathon in 6 months, it's going to take more than excersize, I'm going to have to change my whole lifestyle. Tomorrow, I'm going to get up 2 hours earlier than normal. That's the first change. I'm not going to promise to run, but I'm going to get up and have breakfast. I need to create a routine.
I'm fairly embarrassed about my failure tonight. Let's see if I can do anything about that...
