Breaking Bad Habits


It's not necessarily a "bad" habit, but it's one I want to be rid of.

Run 9/12 Month 1/24

Distance Ran: 1.4 miles
Duration of Run: 16:07 minutes
Pace of Run: 11:31 minutes/mile
Goals Crushed: None today

Full List of Monthly Goals

After Tuesday's spill on the treadmill I've been a little leery of getting back on. I took a few days off for Thanksgiving and to rest. Which means the next few days will be filled with runs, because after  all my hard work there is no way I am missing my 12 runs in a month.

I normally get up 15-20 minutes before I have to be at work, throw on clothes, and run out the door to be at work on time. I've tried waking up beforehand and nothing has worked.

I feel like the time change has been on my side in helping with this. I'm naturally waking up a little bit earlier and going to bed a little bit sooner.

I'm about to go work 10 hours today, but I made sure to get my run in because I want to say I did it. I won't have an excuse not to tonight and that's been a problem for me in the past. I had it beat into my own head that waking up a little earlier would never happen. I proved myself wrong.

Today's run started off a bit rough, my knees were hurting, but I pushed through and for the majority of the run I was okay. I found myself in advertisement hell again though, pushing through the last 0.15 miles while listening to ads for insurance and pizza. Finally, the last song kicked on and helped me beat my previous duration and mileage.

I call today a win.

Pandora Playlist that got me through today:
