Start. Just. Start. Start anyway. Over and over and over again.
Like Jon Acuff says, "The Start is the only part of the journey you can control." And definitely pick up his book Start.
And seriously guys. Spandex.

Over and over
If you ate too much, too late last night. If at 2:30 your eyeballs popped open on their own and refused to close again all the way up to your scheduled run time of 4:30. Even if you have to slow down, I mean WAY down, after the second mile. Even if your max is the second mile, or the first mile...or even the first half of a mile. Even if you started four years ago, quit for three, and the voice in your head said that the same thing is just going to happen:

Good God, Jason!!! What are you dong up at 4:09am??!!! Sounds like you're training for the Best Dad in the world marathon. You plan on getting up with the baby all the time? Great idea, BTW... :^)
ReplyDeleteOr is it you are avoiding the hottest crazy days in the world??!! I want to start running--granny jogging, that is. My excuse is this hot, hot weather. And the fact that I've heard that running is hard on your body, joints, etc... I've been thinking about investing in a good street bike. Not a mountain bike, but one of those streamline ones that allows you to ride like the wind! It makes total sense the convo I had with a co-worker about street bikes allowing you to ride farther. I had been comparing myself on a mountain bike to someone riding a street bike; there is just no comparison. I had been discouraging myself all along about it. I used to ride and ride and ride as a kid. Our little town had a figure 8 series of roads. I would ride around that thing until I couldn't see anything. Or mom would make me come in. I think that might be something I start soon. And, yes, I've been told that spandex is the way to go... :^)
I just realized while I was updating myself on your life, Jason, that you are not up at 4 in the morning blogging, but that your blogs are recorded in Cali time. My bad... :^P
