I’ve been letting my emotional eating habits take over and I’ve gained a few pounds. Nothing I can’t come back from, but I hate letting my emotions getting the best of me.
Since I’ve gained a few pounds I’ve had to fight a lot of urges and negative self talk about my body image.
Going for my long run today, lets see if that helps.
Woke up early and went to the track with Megan. Decided to time my mile again. Last time I timed it, it was 10:36ish I think. The time before that it was 11:30ish.
This morning it was 9:29! woohoo! I love seeing progress :)
I can’t believe it! I ran my first 10K yesterday in 1:06:07! Way under my goal time of 1:15!
I jogged the whole thing, only stopping to walk through the water stations. Honestly, the last mile felt pretty awful. If it wasn’t for Lady Gaga I don’t know that I would have gotten through it without stopping. I also sprinted at the very end, but as a result when I finished I felt super shakey, almost like I was going to faint. Thankfully I had brought some applesauce, so that made me feel better.
Does that shakey fainting feeling mean I should have taken a gel?
My 10K is this weekend… eek! I got a little behind on my training, my five mile run was supposed to be last weekend but it kept getting to pushed back to today which is three days before the race. oops.
Well, I’m not going to run at all tomorrow or friday so heres hoping I’m able to run most if not all of the 10k this Saturday!
