On a whim (carefully planned) I made it to the gym tonight. Since I hadn't been in over two weeks and let me clarify I have done none, zero, no exercise in the past two weeks I decided to take it easy. I hopped on the treadmill and envisioned huffing and puffing my way through a light 20 minutes jog but instead I managed to power through 34 mins of 10K/hour running!!
I'm sure you can't even understand how excited I was when I jumped off the treadmill soaked in sweat feeling spry and fit! On my way home I actually thought to myself that I couldn't wait to head back to the gym tomorrow after work to experience the same delightful high as I did tonight.
Is this how regular people stay motivated? They go to the gym and feel good about their workout and therefore good about themselves? Hard to say but I've got my fingers crossed.

For me, when I don't run for a little bit, my first run back is ALWAYS amazing. And yes, it makes me want to stick with it :P
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately (for me anyways), the 2nd one is haaaaard! But then, you still want to just stick with it!
Great job on the run :D
