Thinking About Running vs Actually Running

Okay so when I set my August goals, I decided that I would run 2x per week.

And to be honest, I've been dreading it 

I've been telling myself I'm "working up to it" these last few months by walking.

But in my heart I know that's just an excuse.

So this week, I did it. Both times. And it wasn't that bad at all.

The actual running part was easy.

It was thinking about running that took all the effort.

• Thinking about putting on my shoes and going out in the cold.

• Thinking about how to fit it into my schedule.

• Thinking about when I could take my post-run shower.

But it's never the actual task. Ever. It's all just mind drama.

New thoughts I'm practicing:

• Running is easy.

• I am a runner. It's who I am.

• I get to choose how I feel about this.

• I am unstoppable.

Note to self: No more mind drama about the thing. Just do the thing.
