today's run didn't started out the best.
-my garmin strap broke right before i left. such a bummer. i knew i couldn't run without it, so i just held it in my hand while i ran. not ideal, but it worked.
-i wore a pair of sunglasses today that i've never run in before, and they were flopping up and down quite a bit.
-all of the thin dri-fit socks that i like to wear were dirty... womp. womp.
sometimes there are annoyances like this before or during a run, but i know i just have to put one foot in front of the other and keep going (just like in life). i did that today, and it turned out to be my best run of the year. i just had to get through the first mile. i ran 5 sweaty miles and it felt good.
the 20k is this weekend. today gave me hope that i can finish. i think my longest run this year has been 7 miles, so the plan is to finish and enjoy the miles in between.

Those kind of annoying runs (even if it's not actually the running, but more the garmin, sunglasses, etc) can really wreak havoc on your psyche during a training run.
If all else fails, I try to think, "Well, better to happen during my training run than during my 20K race!"
Have fun!!
So true! Thanks, Lisa!
How did the race go? I hope you had fun!!
I ran it slower than I normally would, but it went well - no pain!
It made me hopeful that I can do a full this fall. :)
