Ugly Run

I told you guys that I have been running with James' command. They do a large group PT with all the students on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. On Tuesdays and Thursdays the turtle group (that's me!) meets up and does just a little warm up with 15 min cardio then a cool down. 30-45 min tops.

Last week I was good. I was motivated. I was like yeah buddy, I can do this. Today.....was UGLY! Man, I hated every minute of that run. It was humid, my glasses fogged up and I had to take them off, then I couldn't see. I was red faced, sweaty, slow, breathing hard. I stopped running for about a minute just before we were halfway done. The last girl behind me caught up to me then she wanted to stop cause I stopped.

Well crap, now I have to keep running so this girl will run. Pump my arms, pump my arms, pump my arms. Don't stop, get it, get it. Pump my arms. Jesus help me. Breathe. Pump my arms.

I knew I shouldn't have ate those rolls and mashed potatoes last night! I keep going. I was trying to let my body rest this weekend so I didn't do anything unlike last weekend where I just did a little running on both Saturday and Sunday. Apparently I'm not allowed to take two days off cause today just plan sucked. I keep going.

I run the whole rest of the way and complete the stupid 3 mile run. Sweat dripping, red faced, can't breathe, I did it.  BAM! Boo Yah! It was ugly, but I did it.

All that to do it again on Wednesday.

Colossians 3:23 Whatever work you do, do it with all your heart. Do it for the Lord and not for men.
