This morning my alarm went off at 4:45 so I could get out for my run. I shut it off and got out of bed. I actually got out of my pajamas and into my running clothes before the thoughts started to settle in… “I’m tired. Maybe I should just go back to bed. Do I want to run today?” But then I slapped those negative thoughts, I mean… I was ALREADY dressed. That would have been really lame to get back into my pajamas and go back to sleep.

I don’t know why I had those thoughts either. I was kind of excited to run around my neighborhood again after a week of being away. Due to work travel, I felt like last week was really bad in terms of keeping up with my regular fitness regime. I did run on Tuesday and Thursday while out of town, but all of my other workouts were totally trashed. I didn’t do my push-ups. I didn’t do my daily ab work. I didn’t do a long yoga practice on Wednesday. Somehow it always seems like I lose a good majority of each day when I travel.

So I forced myself to put on my positive-thinking-cap (it’s pink and made by Adidas) and headed out the door. I had 40 minutes of running on the TNT schedule for today. Once I started moving I felt good and was really enjoying myself. Just like it usually goes, I was happy during and after the run.

Hundred Push-Up Challenge:
Week 5, Day 1 – 30, 24, 22, 20, 30 = 126
Yep, I’m repeating week 5 again because I skipped out last week. Man, this is getting pathetic!
