I arrived at home determined to go for a run outside. It was just as warm as the day before -- 93 degrees -- but I was going to do it. I walked over to the trail and started jogging. Immediately a battle ensued. My mental game is still not working properly. Part of me wants to run faster, part of me wants to walk. I maintain a slower pace I set for myself, fighting the urge to go faster.
After a few minutes, I start walking. I feel defeated at not getting my goal to run the whole time, but then again, I'm just beginning again. I walk for a little while and then jog a little. This routine continues until I get to the half mile mark. I decide to turn around and head back. Another goal is not completed (running to the mile marker), but I'm just beginning and a mile total is still good.
My "run" finishes as I arrive at the apartment complex. 1 mile in 15:08. Not bad, but not quite where I want to be, but I'll get there.
