Week 12, Day 3
19-Dec-20
Gosh! I reached the end of week 12 and to be honest, I have lagged badly with my routine for past 2 weeks. I managed to run only 2 day per week, and the rest has been consumed by events, work stress and awful blues in my mood. But instead of being critical, which I often end up doing to myself, I want to take the efforts of focusing on what went right and how I would like to get back on track. I know - Wanting and Doing are 2 different things. But fun fact - I did not have a week where my score for going on a run was 0 till date. I fluctuated between keeping my runs per week from 2 to 5, but not 0. And that is extremely important for me.
Moving on, I am already geared up for today's run and I am feeling pumped up (well, I made a stellar mug of steaming hot cappuccino and gulped it down now). My focus is to shift the feeling of overwhelm and take a moment to analyze and tweak things for better. To be honest, a lot many times, I have given up way before because I get overwhelmed with competition in my head, even though not many external factor change. But I put myself on a pedestal so high, I forget the higher the expectations, the more time and energy needs to be invested in making things happen. So I do get caught up and break down when I don't see results, but this is where I should check myself, sit down and make me understand the importance of just working on things you love by having fun :)
Anyways, lot of deep talk for today. Off I go and jog it out! P.S. I need to buy a new pair of jogging shoes, my shoes have stepped across the world and it is time to say adios... |

Week 7, Day 3
21-Nov-20
I managed to complete 3 days last week, however, I am finally over my blues! My routine was entirely disrupted due to how emotionally unstable I felt, but taking a break on Friday worked wonders. I wrote a blog post, watched two movies, read a book and rested my overwhelming mind from continuously thinking. 'Brittany runs a marathon', the movie that I watched was amazing, I had tears when she finished her NYC marathon in the end despite her obstacles. Hopefully someday, I will run my full marathon and cry those happy tears. Actually it's difficult to cry since all you want to do is eat and not move and drink so much water and not laugh because everything in your body creaks for full 2-4 days! I miss running marathons so much. But I am sure my practice of running routine by December end will keep me trained for atleast another half marathon. Fingers crossed 🤗 |
