After doing 6 miles at 8:45 pace yesterday - not a comfortable pace - today I did 6 miles at 9:40 pace, which I thought would be comfortable, but it wasn't. I was hurting from yesterday, and it was pouring rain, and I felt pretty darn miserable.
Last night at my running club meeting Alan spoke about completing workouts when we don't feel like it, and how that last mile is the most important, and when we don't complete workouts we actually miss out on the part of the workout that will benefit us the most. So I completed my workout, I did not stay at 9:40 pace for all of it (I did for about 4 of the 6 miles). I was hurting, and soaked, and grumpy. But I completed my workout. I truly hate running in the rain. I'm in my PJs now, and ready to start watching Idol. My reward for finishing what I started!
