I tried week 2 today and i guess you could say i survived, though that may yet be debatable. I ran/shuffled my way through all the intervals so thats good enough for me. And I took a friends dog, Grover with me - he showed that my pace was roughly that of a fast dog walk today. I also learned that I am not sure I love running with dogs - I love walking with them, and I for sure love this dog to bits but he stops to pee very often when i am just trying to keep moving. I think i need to give him a bit more info on the fact we are doing a couch to 5km!
Some days are about perserverance and doing it despite whats going on in life. Today was one of those days - in which the goal is just getting through it one step at a time, and nothing past that. Its been a fibro weekend in which i have done too much and my stress level is too high so I have been exhausted. Getting up and getting to the doggy to take him out was a bit of a stretch, let alone actually running.
My mind is in a million places right now, I am moving on Thursday and I am just plain tired. So did i run today? Yes. Barely, but that is ok - sometimes you just have bad run days and its important to accept them for what they are. Sometimes you have good days and thats great as well. The important thing is to keep trying and to remember that ultimately, you made the effort to move and that alone is a win.
