dedication and commitment

It feels sort of weird that I haven't posted since Monday. For those of you keeping track I did do three running workouts this week...I was just so tired after running in the 98 degree heat last night that I went right to bed. All I have to say is 98 degrees and you all should know how that run felt...like I was running through sludge, like I couldn't breathe, etc. etc. But of course we got it done!

This week has really tested my dedication to running and my commitment to my running partner, Jenilee. It would have been so easy for me to tell her that I'm just too damn tired to run after work yesterday, or to have not gone to the gym tonight because I was tired and had a bad day. I feel like this habit that I have gotten myself into is amazing! Like I have said before...there is no choice! I will run, I will go to the gym, I will exercise today.

I'm very nervous about the coming weeks... Jenilee is going on vacation next week. This means that we are left to continue our trainings alone. (dun, dun, da!) Can we do it? I feel like I can not! She insisted that I can -- I guess we will see what happens once Tuesday rolls around and I'm at the track all alone. I'm also pretty nervous about my continued dedication once we getting deeper and deeper into the school year. I'll have times that I will have to stay late, kick boxing classes that I'll miss -- I just have to stay positive and know that it is not the end of the world and that I'll make up those workouts.

Our first 5K is in two weeks from tomorrow. I hope we are ready!!
