It is amazing what a difference 24 hours can make in a mindset. Yesterday numbers didn't phase me. I didn't care about stats and was enjoying the love of running. Then today I peeked at Daily Mile only to see I am 12 miles from getting 150 miles this month. Why do I care? Why am I bummed I didn't run this am (will run later today)? I could have done 12 miles this am if I would have known earlier.
Thing is, the last day or so I have also felt a bit achy as if a cold was coming my way. That is why I have stuff like this in my possession....and in my water.
I know between that and the lovely 9 hours of sleep I got last night I am well on my way of avoiding a nasty, full-blown cold and that is more important than 150 miles in August, right? Gotta say....I'm am not doing a good job of convincing myself. Did I convince you?
Daily Gratitude: I am thankful for the Energy Bits sample I received in the mail to try.
Daily Affirmation: I am in tune with my body and know what to do.
Aloha again.....look over there to the right....my 2012 miles are at 954....perhaps I can round them out to 960?
ReplyDeleteDarn those numbers and the games they play with me!
You are so competitive with yourself! Love it. Hope you don't end up getting a rotten cold now!
ReplyDeleteUgh, I do the same thing. I am at 163 for the month and have this urge to go back out for 2 miles. I already did a double run today so I don't think it will happen.
ReplyDeleteLol girl! Don't let those numbers get to you! It's probably smarter to take care of yourself since you feel a cold coming on than trying to get those numbers. :-)
ReplyDeleteDon't let those numbers get to you, love!! You be the best you that you can be!! The numbers will come! Spalove! :0)
ReplyDeleteI used to be into numbers too, mileage, times, and so on. Then I got old(er).
ReplyDeleteSo what's better, those 12 miles today that push you over the edge into full blown cold-dom, causing you to lose mileage numbers in September, or starting fresh and healthy in a new month (while keeping an eye on your mileage)?
You did the right thing but I would have been so tempted to reach the 150 miles. I'm a numbers and stats person. Love them! There will be another close to 150 miles month :)
ReplyDeleteNumbers always haunt me!! I hope you are feeling much better though...more important than the 150...but close!
