Today was better than Monday. I did the same course and cut 4 minutes off my time. I ran more and didn't hurt as soon as I did last time.
Someone mentioned how much they respected me and Nathan for starting from scratch every year to train for our half marathon. It was a compliment, but it has a flip side. If I'm starting from scratch each year, that means I quit at some point, right? And I'm making it harder on my body than it has to be.
I'm not setting New Year's Resolutions. They never work for me, but I am setting my goals. Goals can change, but they still give a guideline for where I want to go and how to get there.
Goal for 2011:
Don't Quit
How I'm going to accomplish it:
1. After the marathon in April, cut down miles if needed but don't STOP.
2. After April, sign up for more races as incintive to keep running.

Yep, competing will help you have the will power to go on. You could also get together a small running group of friends. You all run together, but at your own speeds. Everyone waits for the last one to come in. We all need encourangement once in a while and if you can find people to run with, it helps you to stay motivated when you would rather stay in bed.
