Am I alone?
A friend of mine messaged me today and said “i thought doing this would make me feel empowered but I’ve never felt so alone”. I often ask myself if I am alone or are there others. The answer is, there are others. You are never alone. They are everywhere and I need to constantly remind myself. Even though I did this alone. I do not have to be alone. I have friends who now message me asking for support or advice, I have a number of fitness groups on facebook, I have friends online and in person that are fitness friends, and as one of the morning instructors said at boxing “we are like a family”. So let me say this again ”We are never alone”.
This was me today, post run making my shakeology. 10 min easy jog, 15 mins faster than normal speed, and then 10 cool down. I hate my wed runs. They hurt. I always have to stop at least once, but this time I almost made it. I was so close. I hope to get better and I know I have, but im frustrated that I cannot keep the pace of the “yellow” zone. I use the Micoach pacer to keep track of my running speed. It has a thing for shoes and a heart rate monitor. I love it and hate it, the program is awesome but i get frustrated with myself so much when i hear the coach tell me to speed up. I never notice myself slow down but I’m glad to have someone/thing tell me to pick it up. Today was also boxing. I love it, but I’m very sore today. 2 days of abs in a row is torture, but im doing this to improve. My plank has gotten so much better. I still cannot touch my nose to the ground on a push up, but I know I will get there in time.
Got some more new gear. Shoes, socks and a neck warmer. I’m excited to run all winter :) Time for sleep. 5:30 comes fast.
