AM- 1.5 mile warm/cool, 4x1600s (400m recovery). Goal time:5:25. Times: 5:35, 5:43, 5:56, 5:46. At the end of this workout and through most of weights, I was almost sickened by the fact that I was not even close. I just was beating myself up over it! And then the thought occured to me,"How stupid is this?" Why the crap should I be worrying about something that I could not change no matter how hard I tried? That got me thinking: There are 2 ways to walk out of a failed workout: Discontent vs Disdain. There are key differences between these 2 feelings. Discontent means dissatisfaction with one's circumstances while Disdain is where one feels almost unworthy and contempt. I have decided that i'm going to start walking out of failed workouts feeling discontent because we can LEARN and FIX our mistakes because we are dissatisfied and want to get better!
Changes for next week: I don't know what else to say, but just run stronger. This week was just a fluke.
PM- 3 miles easy Dirt Mile. Went on my own. Saw Lego Movie right before so I could not get my legs moving at all! Stuck it at around 8:30 average, but started in mid-9s. Side-stitches from popcorn...
