Ran for about 50 minutes yesterday. Ran for 3, walked for 2, 10 times, and my left shin started killing me after about the 6th rep. So, I completed the rest of the workout in pain. Everytime I am in good running shape (twice now), I vow not to stop, because it is so hard to get to where I was. And then, just like that, something happens (get laid off etc etc), I completely lose motivation and lose all that hard-earned fitness. This becomes obvious only during the long climb back to some kind of running shape.
For me running shape is defined as the ability to do a half-marathon at the drop of a hat. This time around, I swear to take it slow, not overdo it and progress in stages. By stages I mean, I will first do 10Ks and when I am decent at it, I will start training for a half. I would really like to start running marathons again.
TV is a time sucker. Duh! I have noticed that the more I watch TV, the less time I have for other stuff. I sleep later at night, wakeup exhausted, and constantly suffer because of my habits. I don't read much, all my chores stagnate, and I become terrible. Time to change them. Easier said than done?
