Mental Game

Did my 3.5 mile run today and it felt great! 

Running offers me some time to just think. Actually that's what helps me get through the run is to think about anything but running. Good time to work through a lot of thoughts that have been jumbled up in my head for awhile. 

I'm starting to feel like I'm finding myself again. For a long, long time, it has felt like I haven't been myself or really know who I am. I'm becoming okay with just being by myself. I don't know if that makes sense to anyone. 

Anywho, running is a total mental game. I noticed today that the first 20 min or so of my run is the hardest part for me for some reason. But once I get past that mark, I feel like I can run forever. Okay, maybe not forever, but it becomes so much easier and enjoyable. I'm always proud of myself for pushing myself past the point where I think I can't go on. I'm excited to keep on training and getting better and better. 

Well, time to go finish my lab reports for class tomorrow. It's been a loooonnggg day. Can't wait for bed!
