"Pain is temporary. It may last a minute, or an hour, or a day, or a year, but eventually it will subside and something else will take its place. If I quit, however, it lasts forever."
-Lance Armstrong
I can't do my regular long run this weekend, due to kid conflicts. So, I decided I needed to get my long miles in mid-week and swap it for a short run that I will do Saturday. It makes things a bit of a challenge since I still have my gym schedule and yoga. Is it just me, or does every week seem like a scheduling nightmare? I have taken to sitting down each weekend with my Outlook calendar and literally scheduling my workouts on the calendar so that I have a visual. I find that the day gets away from me or I don't think I have time when I actually do if I deconflict early on.
So anyway, I had a hard yoga session yesterday, followed by an 11 mile tempo run at a 7:40 pace. It was 80 degrees and windy (of course). I came home to find this quote in my running club's newsletter. Pain for me can be physical or it can be emotional (much worse). For instance, guilt, if I know I should be doing something and I am not. I am glad I didn't decide it was just too hard this week.
