My bad attitude

My attitude needs an alignment. I was DREADING the 3mi run scheduled for today. My 2 milers the past couple weeks have been difficult. I was wondering how the heck I was supposed to do 3. I was mad at the piece of paper with my schedule on it. LOL

I knew I would have to slow down a bit in order to do 3 miles. I did it in 41:20, about a 13:47mile/min pace. Slow, but I did it. I am glad I did the 3 miles today. With as much as I was doubting I could do it, it was a confidence booster to finish it. I KNEW I could complete 3 miles, I just didn't know if I could do it under the 15:20 prescribed pace. I thought I would be walking a lot more than I did.

There were a couple walkers out today. That actually helps a LOT with motivation. I love seeing skinny people walking while my fat ass is running. Now, I don't think any less of them for walking, it just makes me proud of myself for running.

Toward the end of the 3 miles, one of those VW buses drove by, exhaust spilling into the air. WOW. That sucked the oxygen right outta me!!!

My daily b**tch about the weather. 80 degrees and 89% humidity at 5:30am. RICKENfricken*$**%*$*%. I think I am just mad at the world right now because I'd rather be home in Colorado. You have no idea how hard it was to leave my family this time around. I am already upset about that, and then I walk outside into million degree weather I just get more pissed off. I cannot wait to leave Guam! It isn't a bad place...except for the weather and the fact that is halfway around the world from my family. BUT, those are two huge factors for me. I miss my dad. :o(
