Hard Run

Found last nights run to be the hardest I have done so far. Didn’t get home until after 6 so was very tired, also my wife was really hungry and wanted me to cook dinner straight away. Managed to hold her of with a packer of chips from the pantry and also managed to force myself upstairs and get changed into my running gear. Out the door just after 6:30 and into my warm up for the first time actually felt like a runner. Unfortunately it was not to last. Started out okay just going easy run for 1 walk for 2 after each run I wasn’t out of breath like I have been of late but was having trouble completing the minute due to the fact my legs hurt quit a lot. Think they were still sore from me pushing so hard on Saturday. Half way through all I wanted to do was stop running first time I have ever just wanted to chuck the whole thing in and just go home. I have being running now for four weeks which is the longest I have managed to keep up an exercise program since I have put this weight on. So I gritted my teeth and pushed on and actually started to feel better the longer it went on with two and a half minutes to go I was about 400 meters from home so pushed on and ran the last stretch home. Was completed buggered by the time I got there but had managed to ran the whole way. I wanted to scream from the roof about what I had done you would think I had just ran a marathon by the smile on my face not 400 meters. However it was my first mental challenge as a runner and it felt great that I had survived it. Looking forward to my run tomorrow morning and hopefully I can look forward to another nice run.
