Kicking mean sarah to the curb

Well, I decided this morning that Mean Sarah could shove it. So, to piss her off I ran further and longer than I have before. I'm going in 3/10 mile sections, with about a 1/10 mile recovery period (sometimes 2/10). It felt good! I'm heading to the beach tomorrow for the conference and won't have my running buddies with me... so I really need to assess the schedule and figure out when I'm going to exercise. Have to do it. They'll be waiting for me Thursday morning. Hopefully Mean Sarah is on a good, long vacation! Oh - and I was down 1.2 this AM which was that much more motivating to tell her to go to hell!

Oh how I hate that voice inside of my head as well.

A suggestion, if I might? I read that you love anything that has to do with the beach. A friend of mine swears by going for runs on the hardened (yet still cushioned) wet sand on the beach. And he does this barefoot, so the callouses and blisters that come up get a kind of all natural spa treatment.

I can't promise that will work for you, but you'll be in a setting that you love (if you have access to it, I live in a coastal town, so a drive to the beach is less than 10 minutes away) and if you use an iPod with some of your favorite music, you can help drown out Mean Sarah.

Good luck and keep it up! You're doing great and SO CLOSE to being half-way to your goal.

Much admiration,

Zara

Mean Sarah is that cow on your shoulder telling you can't do something! You sound like you have her reined in... and OMG you are amazing for jogging. Go wonderful, beautiful Sarah. She rocks. xx

Buh-bye Mean Sarah!! :) Nice work on the 1.2 -- I'm surprised she didn't weigh more than that! Hee hee!
