You have been pushing yourself really hard, it's not failure to take a day off if your body is tired...it's smart. You have come so far and no one ever said this would be easy. If it was easy then we wouldn't feel so great for achieving our goals. So last night was just a difficult moment for you, I'll bet after a good night's sleep you'll feel like a new person today and you should be proud today that you got a workout in even though you were so tired. As far as the Johnny Miles goes, my goal was to do the 10k but I pulled a hamstring a few weeks ago and now i have to settle for doing the 5k instead, that's very disappointing for me, I trained hard for about 8 weeks and was up to running 9k without stopping, then i had to stop running for a couple of weeks and slowly build back up, the most i have done since then is 6km, very slowly. I have felt very disappointed about not being able to reach the goal I set out to reach and I also considered not going at all, but I've had time to think about it now and I am going to run the 5k, and my time may be slower that my Fit for Lit time but that's ok because a year ago I couldn't have even imagined trying to run 5k. So I'm going to go and enjoy the experience and I will be proud of whatever my time is. My point is you need to be soooooo proud of yourself, just running a 5k is a major accomplishment...not everyone can do it. You've come so far and worked so hard for everything you've achieved, don't be disappointed by any time on a clock. We should set goals so we can move forward and challenge ourselves not so that we can feel like a failure if we fall a little short. So I"ll see you at the Johnny Miles (probably from behind because I won't be doing it in under 30...lol)and I hope you'll be smiling at the finish line no matter what the clock says!Cherylnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8873351105659690131.post-51776689808044872252011-06-17T07:46:38.968-03:002011-06-17T07:46:38.968-03:00dawn try not to beat yourself up, after all you ar...dawn try not to beat yourself up, after all you are only human. i can certainly relate to being an emotional eater,and it is hard to get the negative out..but on a positive note ...you did go to the gym and even though you only did half of what you wanted to do thats twice as much then if you wouldnt have went at all...you should be patting yourself on the back. i seen you the other day and i'll tell you all i seen when i looked at you was a strong, beautiful, confident woman..and you are such an inspiration .tammy briandnoreply@blogger.com
