They say it takes 3 weeks to form a habit - boy do I hope they're right!
Week 2 already brought on a confrontation with the "this really sucks!" part of training. With sleep deprivation chasing me down, I woke up Thursday morning with my head completely out of the game. A nippy 32 degrees outside, couldn't find my ear warmers, all I wanted to do was go back to bed and start the day over. But of course, a commitment is a commitment, and though every step sucked more than the one before, all I had to do was bang out one mile. So I did, and I wasn't happy about it at the time, but going into week 3 knowing I haven't [yet] strayed from the plan - I guess that feels pretty good.
So week 3 - I'm vowing to schedule my sleeps so I don't wake up on the wrong foot and we'll see how this goes. Schedule is: 1, 2, 1, 3, 3 (Tue, Wed, Thu, Sat, Sun). 10 more miles, here I come.
