Today's goal was 4 miles under 33 minutes. I realized during the first 2 miles of my runs, my mind really isn't in gear. Running really includes a lot of mental strength because your mind can be what actually holds you back from your long distances. Anyways, the first 2 miles were hard to get through. I kept wanting to stay at my comfortable pace (around 9:08 min miles) instead of pushing myself to be faster. Once I got over the 2 mile hump, my mind shut off and my legs turned on. I had to run super fast to try and meet my goal. I was only a few seconds over...NBD. Once the legs take over, it's much easier. It felt good to finally kick myself into turbo gear. I left the trail dripping in sweat and apparently dangling with spiders. EFF YOU SPIDERS. I had one swinging from its web off my body. SICK. I instantly turn into a 5 year old girl with strong ninja reflexes when a spider is anywhere near me and/or on me. The world would be so much better without them.
