cheating...

you know i f'ing hated every step of my 3 miles today. loathed it more than i can even begin to describe. i started out at the high school track and hated it (way too many peeps) and it was just blahhhh... .75 miles. ugh. so i got in the car and went to the gym. "only" 2.25 miles. i can so do this (ha!)

cursing every step. every.single.step. hated it with a passion. then a thought came... i dont "have" to do this... i can just get off and say Nike+ stopped working or i forgot to turn it on or whatever... but i'd really only be cheating myself. really - who gives a flying F if i go the full 3.0 miles? no one... but me.

so if i'm going to do this (and i am), im going to do it right. im not going to cheat myself out of miles (even though Nike+ conveniently does that for me - went 2.25, logged 2.03)...

so i burned 620 calories... that's what i'm going to focus on. caloric burn. cant burn calories by cheating.

just fucking do it, christine. just fucking do it.

    An unbelievable amount of that inner dialog goes on when I'm running. I should just quit... no I will just be mad at myself if I do... better keep going... oh fuck it what's cutting off 1 mile matter?... no better keep going or I'll just feel like shit about myself.

    In the end, knowing how shitty I'm going to feel about myself if I don't see it through usually is JUST enough to keep me going. Although, it's almost always a close battle.
