Last night, I got my happy self out the door for a nice run. I didn't go as far as I would have liked to have run because I had a headache. I guess I have been under a little more stress than I thought. I ended up running 2 miles. During my run portion, I ran faster (about 10 minute miles). Unfortunately, the walk portion equals about fifteen minute miles. Nothing to write home about, but moving none-the-less.
What is the plan for tonight? I am not running. I am going to be going out line dancing with my husband. I can't wait actually. It is something new and we both love it!

Will this blog...
...get me into trouble? Will this blog give me motivation? What will this blog do for me? I am not sure. I feel that 2011 is going to be my year. I am not sure why or how or what needs to be done, but it is going to be great.
In this blog, I am going to write about all kinds of random moments. What gets me out the door on my runs? How my students end up motivating me to go further and push harder? I will also be posting whatever else I feel like writing.
Ultimately, I have many goals. By January 8th, 2012, I want to have run enough miles to get me from here to Disney World. Why? Jeremy and I will be running a marathon on the 8th of January 2012. I am ecstatic and scared all at the same time. Why? The last marathon I ran, I did not to do so well. It sent me into an abyss of self-doubt. It took me almost a year to return to running consistently. My dad had a hand it this return. He told me that I would be successful if I run my own race, or think of it as a run. Could this be possible? On my first race/run, my parents were there. I was having an anxiety attack. I am pretty sure my dad had never seen me show such doubt in myself. He reminded me to go out there and just run. I decided he was right about two minutes into the race. I have been running consistently, so I knew I could complete the task. Little did I know, I would do so well. I beat my time by three minutes. I also realized that the way I had been training was going to get me through my marathon. There is no need for me to feel like I am not going to make it. I will. I may even have a much better time than before!! :) Not only that, I will most have more fun than before. What I need to do the most though is get past my negativity. I also need to get myself out the door more consistently.
How to do that? How does one get themselves out the door more consistently? Should I get up early and run? If I do that, I have no excuse. Should I wait until I get home? I seem to feel like I am able to go longer if I go at night. Hhhhmmm, I hate getting up early. I think it has to do with the fact that my family is asleep in their beds. It is nice and warm. The downside of running at night, I am easily sidetracked. I need to force myself out to run for at least a mile. No matter what I do. I need to go for a minimum of one mile. That is simple enough. As long as I go for one mile, I can easily add on or stop at one mile. I think I will plan for a run in the morning. If for some reason I don't get out the door, I will go after dinner. I think that is the best option. It allows me the freedom I need to get a run in. Then as time goes on, I might be able to get better at either running in the am or running at night. As of now, I put it off and then I don't do it. That will not get me to my goal.
I'll blog about my adventure tomorrow morning. :)
