I got up today planning to go for a long run around 12 to 13 miles, but I did not. Now I could have gone out and run this morning but decided not to because I felt that my achilles was stiffed and I dont want to aggrevate it, I dont want to get hurt and have to miss out more days of training. This is simple stuff right? well with me nothing is like that, I am the all or nothing kind of person, and I am hard on myself, i need to learn to listen to my body and trust that it knows best and not my mind, because most of the time my mind does not know best.
So the lesson of the day for me is to be ok with delaying my long run for another day and dont judge myself so harshly. trust my body's message.
I'm an "all or nothing" type person too learning to take smaller steps and listen to my body. Hopefully I am not under doing it though...I just hate pulling something and then having to sit out a day or two (because it's too tempting to take more than a few days). I have a 1/2 marathon that I signed up for coming up in a 11 weeks and want to start and finish it in one piece!
