This post is clearly a little late but after my "long" Saturday, I had to take some time to gather my thoughts and assess my current status. Due to the holiday weekend and plans to leave town, I woke bright and early to go for my 8 mile run, which is saying a lot because I never, ever get up before my son, it is kind of an unwritten law that you sleep when they sleep. It was a nice, cool morning and I took a new route to try to add a couple more miles to my current routine. I was feeling really good and I even did my "victory dance" at the halfway point that I have started doing while on my run. Yes, a victory dance at the halfway point helps me gear up for the second half., anyway I did my victory dance and went on my merry way. About 7 miles into my 8 mile run, I had lost my mojo for sure, instead of dancing I was mentally repeating "just put one foot in front of the other" and "come on, keep going!" I knew that I could make it but mentally I was slowing down and needed a pep talk for sure. Next time I need to take some reinforcements and definitely some more music because if I have to listen to anymore Lady Gaga, I was going to throw myself in front of the next cyclist that passed by me.
*Mental status is good, but feeling challenged and physically I am doing well, a little stiff Sunday morning but still good.*
Song of the week: I enjoyed Monster by Lady Gaga this week, although I am pretty sure there is something seriously wrong with that girl.
