Today I pushed myself again, boy am I out of shape. But this time instead of being ashamed of it I'm going to embrace it. Accept it and make a change. Let go of my past abilities and focus on what I can do right now.
I did the 3 mile out and back, but this time I stopped and walked twice in the last mile and a half. So really only ran 2.8 miles (I had my garmin this time). I was proud of myself actually for 1) getting out and running and 2) for working hard. My splits were 8:48, 7:39, and 6:20 (8:03 pace) for the last 0.8.
I hope to run every day this week (except for Thursday, Thursdays I have therapy and go swing dancing with friends so I won't have time).
