Cereal please, but hold the milk

I started the day with too much cereal and milk and I ate some candy (in the morning.....really?). Well, this is what I will blame for my running time. But in reality, I think it was due to a little of my negativity.

My time: 6:42.37

After my run, I was okay with this. My attitude lately has been really up. I wasn't disappointed in myself because I was thinking.....this is a really good time. Sure I was one second slower, but that's not bad at all. It's funny because this is a lot different than how I felt when I got slower the last time.

I would say this is a good turning point for me. Instead of complaining, I embraced my time. I am improving. And best of all, I am getting to the point where I am happy with myself. Not disappointed.

I felt a bit sick after my run (now this might be due to the combination of the food and me pushing myself) and I had to take awhile to rest myself. My stomach hurt and I was feeling weak. I was wondering if I would do any more for my workout. Eventually after drinking water and giving myself time, I went on the elliptical and got a great workout.

I wanted to make this my last mile time run, but I realized that I didn't reach my goal (I actually really want to get 6:30) and it's a good challenge. It keeps me going and have a focus. Also, I sort of dread running the mile in fear that I will be slower, a lot slower, one day. I can do this.

It's about attitude and taking the best of everything. Even when you might be a little slower, take it and run with it.

And next time I am going to have oatmeal the morning of my run.
