I can do better

I didn't really want to crawl out of bed today.

It was too early. I stayed up too late. I was tired. I didn't want to run. I ran a marathon last week and didn't have high hopes for running a half marathon seven days later. I didn't want to lose. I only had two goals.

I'm glad I crawled out of bed.

It was a beautiful morning. Not too early. I wasn't very tired from staying up late. I felt like running as soon as I saw other runners. I wore my Ptown Marathon shirt so people would know the reason if I found the need to walk. I didn't get tired. I didn't feel sore. I didn't feel weak. I didn't have to walk more than to take two drinks. I pushed and pushed. I entered my anaerobic threshold especially in the last two miles. I pushed more.

I achieved my goals. I did a sub 2 hour. I didn't lose. I was happy. Maybe I'll think about taking running more seriously. Maybe I can do better.
