If week one wasn't an epic fail, week two was. I wasn't sleeping well at all. It made for a cranky, zombie like Liz. I only ran on Monday and skipped the other days because I was too stinkin' tired. I'm honestly a bit disappointed in myself, disappointed that I'm having such a hard time sticking with what I consider to be a simple task. I'm not getting up three hours earlier and running 10 miles, I'm waking up an hour earlier than normal and trying to run a mile. I don't consider this an epic, unattainable feat. Okay, Ms. Grumble Pants is leaving. So, how can I fix my problem?
1) Go to bed earlier. Seriously. It shouldn't be that hard. If I'm exhausted I should be able to sleep? Yes? Sometimes.
2) If I miss a morning run I shouldn't call the day a wash, I should plan to run in the evening or at lunch if the weather permits. Pack for such days. It's very easy to go home, plant my butt on the couch and not move for the rest of the night.
3) Don't throw in the towel. I could very easily say - Well, I gave it the old collage try and it just didn't work out. But I didn't really give it a shot. I may have hit a few walls but I really want to stick with this.
4) Fuel better. I don't think I'm one for the whole - a calorie is a calorie frame of mind. A Snickers bar probably isn't going to get me through the morning better then eggs and toast. I can make better choices and since work took out the snack machines a Snickers is no longer an option for breakfast. Not that I ever had a Snickers for breakfast.
So, since I didn't drag my but outta bed this morning I'm going to run after work.
In other Liz related news... Eron and I celebrated our 5 year Anniversary over the weekend. Fondue, massages, total relaxation, and a lovely dinner out = epic win. I'm a lucky girl.
