"You have to wonder at times what you're doing out there. Over the years, I've given myself a thousand reasons to keep running, but it always comes back to where it started. It comes down to self-satisfaction and a sense of achievement." -Steve Prefontaine

Mai Hana: Week 1 Day 3, DONE!

So, yesterday, I finished my first week of C25k. I started my run at 0715 and it was hot already. I didn't do better than day two and I started beating myself up for it. Pretty badly. I came home and was on the verge of tears. I saw myself as a loser. After punching myself in the face, mentally, for about half an hour, I took a deep breath and asked myself why I'm being so hard on myself. That calmed me down a whole lot. I don't know why I'm beating myself up for it. I just always try to be better than everyone and when I'm not, I get discouraged and quit. Hopefully, this whole C25k experience will help me work on this problem that I have.

I'm excited to start week two most likely tomorrow morning! I changed my schedule from getting up at 0700 to warm up to getting up at 0600 to run.
