Day 10 (8/10): unknown / 14:32

Wow, it's hot!  After taking off yesterday to lounge by the pool, it was really hard to motivate myself to get going today.  Luckily, my husband was willing to take our son for a walk while I squeezed in a run.  We headed in the same direction and I decided to run as far as I could in 10 minutes, then turn around and would stop whenever I met back up with them for the walk back to the house.  I was feeling pretty good about myself until I saw my husband and the stroller in the distance...stopped at a bench along the bike path... Are you kidding me?!?  If they'd kept walking, I wouldn't have had to run so far!  Good god, I'm lazy!  I should have been glad to have the excuse to push myself that much further in order to do what I'd set out to do this morning... instead I'm irritated because I had to go a few steps further.  It occurs to me now that, all of my physical hurdles aside, my biggest challenges in this endeavor will definitely be mental ones.  I realize that I'm determined to succeed, as long as the path to success is an easy one.  I guess I've still got a lot to learn.  For now, all I can do is take it one day at a time and remind myself that each run will get easier as my physical abilities improve... and the mind set will just have to change along with everything else.
