Mental

I believe running is very mental. On Monday the 16 mile run was very challenging for me mentally because I kept going back and forth between how many miles I was going to run. All these things going through my mind, I am too tired, the girls are probably bored in the kids club, I am not too tired, I can do it, I will just do 10 and do 16 tomorrow, this is taking too long...... and a billion others thoughts, but I pushed through and around 12 I decided that I was going to finish all 16 so that is when it got easier for me. It was like a burst of energy when I made the decision that I was going to finish 16 and do it fast so my kids weren't too mad. It felt absolutely great to finish. I can't wait to do 18 next week. Seriously it is a good feeling to do a long run, you feel like you can do anything after that.
