Tempo run

I decided to run differently today. Instead of pushing, I would follow the speed recommendations of my watch. I have a training plan from MyProCoach that seems to work well for me. There is one problem, I push too hard. I want too much, and I want it now. Because I need it. So, today I would back off a bit. Let the watch tell me what to do and follow it. 

Tempo run: The tempo parts were to be kept at 6:00-6:15 and, I followed that. It felt good. I did great. While running, I listened to a book (see below). In one essay, my eyes were opened.  I realised that I do not know myself. What do I love, and what do I want to do in my life? I love to run, and I want to keep running for the rest of my life. That I know for sure.

Directly after the run, I sat down and wrote about this. I understand now that where I am in my life and my low self-esteem has made this happen. I need to find myself. Running and books are a great combination.

Today's run: 7,5 km in 47 min

Book: What I know for sure by Oprah Winfrey

Shoes: the grey Sauconys
