Had a lovely dinner last night - salmon, roast potatoes, beans and broccoli and even managed to only eat half of what was on my plate so there was enough for lunch today! And it was good today as well.
I so didn't want to get out of bed this morning, and was running through excuses in my head - it's cold, I'm tired, I have basketball tonight so I don't need to... Then (after a couple of snoozes) something just clicked and I got up, got dressed (including my new running shoes!) and headed out the door. And it was cold outside! But it was also a beautiful clear sunny morning, and I was out getting to enjoy it!
The run was HARD. Not sure if it was the new shoes or not, but part way through I had to stop for a min or so as my calves were hurting so much. My breathing was fine, I just hurt! I did a bit of a stretch and then could continue.
Almost home, and I hadn't quite done the 4kms I said I would. I nearly just continued home as I thought "well, I've got out of bed and done something - surely that's good enough!", but then I turned around and made my self go the extra 500m to hit my 4km. Go me!
Was thinking on the train this morning "mmm... wouldn't eggs for breakfast be nice", but I shut that thinking down and walked right past the cafe, and made my porridge with all bran in it as soon as I got to my desk. And it was yummy!
Just started doing todays pre-season task which is to diarise and get organised. I've put in all the upcoming events and there are quite a few, including a week in Queenstown. It's going to be hard but I can do it! Michelle also talked about mini milestones. I've been looking at a trail run thats on in a couple weeks (http://www.mountainsports.com.au/sts-winter/). Now I know it doesn't quite line up with end of week 4 like its supposed to (it's only at the end of week 1!), but I decided what the hell and I've registered anyway. I've told some girlfriends (no backing out now) and even asked if they will do it with me. I hope they will.
So far I've made good decisions today and today is a good day!
Now just to keep it up for the next 12+ weeks and then the rest of my life!
