From Couch to 10K - W27- WO1


Insights

After another less than stellar week I feel stronger strangely enough. I only completed 3 of the required 4 - 6 workouts, but I at least can see myself actually getting back into the grove. I wish I had access to experienced runners that could guide me through questions I have, but the support I get along the way from random people like ?Brodrick? at the gym is helpful. He is a running God who always seems to support us beginners in the gym or on the road. He said he ran 20 miles this weekend and he is still burning up his tread mill as he does every time I am there. He said to get ready for the summer because it will be hot and he said not to worry that I'm not where I WANT to be right now. He said he knew I would get there. I wonder why strangers that context are so much more supportive and kind that people in our regular lives... I don't know. I REALLY miss running with a group in many ways. I look forward to starting again in May. For now I need to figure out how to exicute the rest of the week. I am barely staying at my current pace for 3 miles but I plan to keep the same pace and hopefully finally grow into it. I for sure need better food this week too. I feel better.... I didn't think I would be able to say that again after the last six weeks, but I really do feel better.
