[Stepping on soapbox.]
In The Non-Runner's Marathon Trainer, the beginning of a chapter begins with discussion of positive attitude and excuse-making. In sum, when you come up with an excuse not to train or run try to tell yourself that whatever it is DOESN'T MATTER.
My quads were sore today. Very sore. During Gremlin's nap, I would have rather stayed in bed knitting, watching "Judge Judy" yell at someone, but I told myself that the sore legs didn't matter. As soon as Mike came home, I left for the gym and ran 4 miles (in 40 minutes). I feel great.
We are doing this, together, for Lauryn. For her spirit. Because she would think we were nuts. Because we love her. Because we miss her.
Team: think of an excuse not to run or train. Then tell yourself it doesn't matter and do it.
