falling behind!

Ahhhhhhh........I fell so far behind! I was doing pretty good. Set a plan together........and then dive bombed! "Shocking right?!" I'm blaming it on the BiRtHdAy! heheeee! This past weekend I really got back on track though.....YAAAAAAY! and it felt great....it was hard while being out there! But once it's over I always feel fine. I've discovered that if I can take my focus off of what I am doing while I'm out on the trail then I can barrel through it without as much of a struggle. Once, I pay attention to the fact that I am running/jogging then all I focus on is how soon I should quit. If I distract myself with other thoughts, then I don't get out of breath, I go further, and don't feel miserable. So, some of the things I found myself distracting myself with were how I needed to go straight to my friends house to go swimming as soon as I was done and that it didn't matter if she was home or not because at least there was a pool that I could recover in because it was soooo hoooooooot out already and that would help me cool quickly. Another thing I began to think about was how I was going to convine myself to make it through a 26.2 mile marathon. I've been told by a number of friends already that they would join me out there if I'd like...WHICH I THINK IS A PHENOMINAL IDEA! If I can recruit two handfuls of friends to do 2 miles each with me or 3 miles each if they're up for it....then I can create a heck of a support system while I am out there...so that's an idea that's brewing in my head..and was brewing as I was training both Sun. & Mon. this past weekend.
