eh!

Not the running weekend I wanted to have. I skipped Friday for some retail therapy and ended up buying running gear instead of actually doing any exercise. I decided I'd do a double workout on Saturday since I skipped Friday and nearly broke my feet. I did my walk/run for an hour but on my way home my arches started hurting so badly. I ended up slightly limping home. Not good since I was also supposed to go to a concert that night--what was I thinking? My sister, the future physical therapist said that it could be that I tied my shoes too tightly...i have no idea but noted for next time. Sunday was supposed to be my big run for 20 minutes straight but I woke up to some serious rain. The weather god seemed to play a trick on me because the time I was supposed to head out to the East Bay to run with a friend, it wasn't raining at all and the sun actually came out! By that time I was already gun-shy and over it. I contemplated going out anyways and put on my running gear. That was as close as I came to running though...I ended up cleaning in my running 'fit. Such a frustrating weekend. I was upset, overly-eager and then got spooked.
Lessons learned: Running each day is less painful than doubling up on my workout and possibly injuring myself. Mental strength is just as important as physical...I must continue to find my will to go on a run.
