Getting Out The Door

Yesterday I had such a hard time getting out the door for my 15 mile run.

I've been doing well running all month. My goal to run 112 miles this month really helped me get out the door most days and I've logged a long run every weekend for the past 4 weekends. But this weekend I just felt burned out.

I started thinking that maybe I would just skip this run. I reasoned that I could still get in 19 miles in the next 3 days even if I didn't log a 14 or 15 miler. But I had already posted on Facebook, my means of accountability, that I was running 14 miles.

So then I started thinking that maybe I would just avoid Facebook for a few days until everyone forgot that I had posted this. Yeah, what's that saying...laziness takes more work than working hard...or something like that.

Anyway, E-man was the one that finally got me out the door. He started getting restless, crying, bringing me his shoes and getting in the jogging stroller. That got me. I put my running shoes on and was out the door without a second thought.

E-man and I had a great 15 mile run together yesterday and I am so glad that all those runs I've taken him on are paying off. He really seems to look forward to these times. I love my coach!
