I did it. I made it through my first day of training. Of course, I've already done this run, but it was almost a month ago. I'm not sure how much I've improved, or if at all, but I'm going to keep going. It started off with a good five minute warm-up, 15:50 pace, and then came the first interval. Running is....hard. My legs were already on fire, my heart pounding and I was just starting. I thought over and over again how hard it was. The more I thought about it, the harder it became. My mind stronger than my body, I began to slow. Then I remembered to listen to the music beating in my ears. Don't think, just move. Follow the beat, one foot in front of the other. Each time I did this, my pace picked up. Just as I would get comfortable, the doubts crowded back in and pain would take over. It took great effort to push it off, harder each time. Tomorrow I need to clear my mind more. It's just movement. We were built to do it, so go out and do it.
