Well Monday was a bad day for me. I was in a funk... a slug as Mark put it. But better a walking slug than a sleeping slug.. I only walked on Monday.. just could not get it going. Today I went to the trails in Ridgeland of Rice road with my son. We did 5 miles doing 1:3 intervals. Today was much better. I really need to keep up with the intervals so that it will get easier just like the walking has gotten easier over the past couple of months. I have charted my progress and the first week I was walking a BIG 10 minutes. That first meeting I went to we walked 1 (one) mile at Belhaven and I thought that was really long. Now I have done 8 miles... yeah me. I really cannot believe it. I am getting so anxious though about the longer distances. My mind really wants to get out there and just run forever, but my old, out of shape body is saying...hold on... what ARE you doing... A little at a time.... 26.2 will be here before we know it.
Have not done good on drinking water.... will try again tomorrow on that.

I am anxious about the longer distances also. I worry about it all week. Why, I don't know. So far we have all managed to do it and lived to tell about it! We both know that we can do it even if we have to walk the whole way. We are just being too hard on ourselves.
You are doing great! I am so proud of us for getting this far without giving up!

Jana is right. You are being too hard on yourself! What we are doing is maybe the hardest thing we've ever done, so there's no doubt that we'll have insecurities and doubts and bad days. Nobody ever said this was going to be easy! Give yourself a break and look how far you've come. You did it then and you will keep doing it 'til the end. You go girl! YOU are a marathoner!
