I woke up this morning, walked the dogs, and decided I felt like shit. I kicked off my running shoes and said fuck it to my morning workout.
I have been stressed to the max lately, blah ... blah ... blah .. sick ... blah blah ... and so on.
You have heard it all if you ever read this blog. I am kind of wallowing in my own shit here.
So anyway, I decided I was sick and turned on the TV and slept on the couch while the two year old vegged out. Finally around noon we went outside. I talked on my cell phone while throwing balls for him to hit with a bat. Great parenting, I know. At least I threw the balls, right?
Then I put him down for a nap and decided to work out anyway, just a little.
I FINALLY RAN MY TEN MINUTE MILE!
On an incline of one. And did a real push up! ONE WHOLE PUSH UP!
Don't laugh at my excitement over one push up, I am so excited about this I could spit.
I still feel kind of shitty, and the head clearing of the work out only amplified the amount of work I have piled up, but whatever. I still worked out, and it was my best work out yet.
. . . and I did a little bit of paper work too.

go you! I have run a 10-min mile ONCE in my life. in a 5K race, the only 5K I have ever run.
perhaps if I could get someone to run ahead of me with ice cream, I'd do it more often. ;)
Good for you!!! Sometimes these things sneak up on us at the least expected times.

some of my best workouts have come when i wasn't feeling so good. i think it has to do with resistance of the mind. when you are feeling good, your mind is more active, and it can be difficult to put aside mind dialog and just be in the workout. when the mind is already fatigued, the focus can just go to the activity. congratulations on your 10 minute mile and your push up. keep it up. (the push ups do get easier).
