How to commit to a running club #1

It would appear I’m as good at sticking to a running club as I am to a training schedule. Mind you, when it comes down to it, I’m not very good at sticking to jobs, houses or boyfriends either.

I was going to go to the running club tonight but decided against it as I wanted to do the three miles on my training schedule as my training schedule is going to go kaput for the rest of the week due to me going out tomorrow night and a friend staying from Thursday ’til Sunday, so it’s not looking very likely now that I’ll get out for a run until next week.

Tonight’s run was hard. I wanted to give up at 2 miles but had told myself that I was going to cut out all the walking I keep doing. Not because I think there’s anything wrong with walking breaks but because I know I can do three miles without stopping. I’m starting to think that the 10k is a bit ambitious and maybe I should do a couple more 5ks first. Or at least do a 5k without getting lost.
