Reality

I realize that my four miles isn't that much of an accomplishment since my intervals are still 1 1/2 minutes running, 1 minute walking. But still, the fact that I made it four miles AND could tell that it felt just that much easier was such a high!! Sometimes, when it starts to get tough, I just say "Anna, Anna, Anna" in my head like a mantra. It makes it easier when you can think about the fact that you're doing this FOR someone.

Tonight on the training regimen, I'm only SUPPOSED to do 2-3 miles. So, I'm going to work on moving up the pace to 2 minutes running, 1 minute walking since I'm going only 3 miles. We'll see how it goes. I have to take the Divine Miss M to meet my Mom so she can take her home with her since there is no school tomorrow but hopefully, I can get back in time for a run. If not, I'll switch the cross training tomorrow for today and do my run tomorrow evening - although, I think the point is to do the cross training the night before the big team run Saturday morning, but I have to do what I can do.

I really feel like I can do this. Although, I can't remember a time that I REALLY set my mind to something that I didn't ultimately accomplish it.
