slacker ?

OK... I admit it.. I kinda slacked off on the training this week. Sunday was a bike ride, so I made Monday a rest day. Tuesday I got home late from work, took the dog out in the dark and rain, then went and TRIED to do a 40 minute run on the treadmill. blech... I got 25 minutes, 2.5 miles and I was done.. bored and completely talked my self out of it. Wednesday, company over so I didn't do anything. Today, I'll either be on the trainer or some pilates. Tomorrow, an OUTSIDE run darn it, come rain or shine. Saturday, 5 miles around Greenlake.

So I kinda jumbled up the training schedule.

I've figured out that if I PRINT the schedule out on Sunday, then I can follow it better during the week. And honestly, I think I just had a crabby attitude this week. It's OK.. it'll get better... and I found some little quotes to help me remember that.

If you don't think every day is a good day, just try missing one. ~Cavett Robert

Wherever you go, no matter what the weather, always bring your own sunshine. ~Anthony J. D'Angel

Some days there won't be a song in your heart. Sing anyway. ~Emory Austin

So... Here's my theory... and I'm working on it..

• I'll be thankful for every day
• I'll always have sunshine with me :)
• The stars will shine for me, no matter how low I am
• the more reluctant I am, the harder I make it.. it's up to me
• always go into it with enthusiasm
• when it's an icky run, remember your smiles and dreams
• SING ... loudly !

So... in our journey to a 5K or a half marathon, or just to a better day... keep working ! Keep moving ! and smile while move forward !
