Journal Entry Sat Mar 5, 2011 43 Days to Boston The Mental Factor

Sat Mar. 5, 2011
6.2 miles

This was a run that tested mental over physical ability.  I went to bed exhausted and not looking forward to getting up early for a run.  Well, set the clothes out as a little enticement.  Slept in a bit later.  Finally put my clothes on and left.  The idea was to run 4 miles, but I felt so good when I went out that I ran 6.  Another run by myself but felt good.  The weather was cool and I knew once I stepped outside I would want to keep going.  Just needed a swift kick in my keester to start the ball rolling.  The feeling of being tired and exhausted at this point for me is pretty normal.  I have to remember days like this when I have to drag myself out of bed for what I think is going to be a short slow run and it turns into a beautiful time spent out in God's world.  You just never know what you might be missing when you stay under those covers.  So glad I went for a run!
