I have seasons of mojo when it comes to this it seems....<br /><br />I loved the Conversations with Me, Myself, and I. Loved that you put these thoughts out there. I have had MANY MANY similar conversations. At times I feel mentally STRONG, unbeatable....Other times, I feel so mentally WEAK...This heat and humidity has surely brought out some of my weaknesses as of late.....<br /><br />This technical part of training. I have always dreaded the speed, always argued to myself that it didn't make running fun for me, I just wanted to "enjoy" running, yada, yada, yada.....I would bail on a training plan for my own plan and for awhile, this seemed to work for me. I'm realizing more and more lately that I don't find the same enjoyment in just running anymore. I find the satisfaction in having a specific goal in training and reaching it. Even though the speed is tough for me, I am starting to enjoy it a bit more because of the rush I feel from completely the workout that is written on my plan.<br /><br />OK-this is long. I really enjoyed this post. Thanks for sharing your thoughts AND your training. You are so determined to better yourself. It's so dang inspiring!Jennhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12998412865107560921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8080856887174526132.post-75951768030249967472011-08-08T11:40:25.421-05:002011-08-08T11:40:25.421-05:00I have had similar conversations with myself and I...I have had similar conversations with myself and I have bailed on speed work - so you're totally normal :)<br /><br />As for the handstand - it's called a self-timer or your husband.

You deal with some of the worst weather in the summer, totally BA runner chick you are! Me, if it's above 75 degrees for the start of a run, I'm in my basement running on the treadmill :). <br /><br />Keep up the awesome work, you are getting stronger by the second!!!Jillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10174883718651790845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8080856887174526132.post-53355768843392946772011-08-08T08:48:11.356-05:002011-08-08T08:48:11.356-05:00It is really hard to run in the heat and humidity....It is really hard to run in the heat and humidity. You are right, in cooler temps it would be much easier to run the same pace. The trouble is that the body needs the faster paces to adapt...this is what I tell myself when I feel like melting...ha. Something I am working on when things get tough is to just accept the pain without judging. In training I always tell myself that I can stop if things get really bad, so lets see how bad they can get. I think the brain habituates to pain and suffering, heck I am counting on that:)Ana-Maria RunTriLivehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06277465990759801560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8080856887174526132.post-42929062731397021422011-08-08T07:22:52.321-05:002011-08-08T07:22:52.321-05:00Great report!

I'm glad to know I'm not the only one that talks to myself like "that"....quit wimping out, suck it up, quit whining, it's too hot/humid, stick to the plan, go by how your body feels, push a little harder, sit this one out, etc., etc., etc. I love that you are NORMAL!!!

Just make sure that when you are having conversations back and forth with yourself (which we all do, whether we are on the Non-Plan Plan or the Technical Ginny Regimen) that your stronger voice reminds you to keep going hard because you will be disappointed if you stop. You can do it! Also, we are waiting for that handstand photo...... :-)HappyTrailshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17651141743444721517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8080856887174526132.post-50934864434080287102011-08-07T19:54:07.272-05:002011-08-07T19:54:07.272-05:00Lately I'm not very negative, but I used to ha...Lately I'm not very negative, but I used to have a lot of conversations in my mind about quitting.<br /><br />Usually went something like: OMG, this sucks so bad, I'm stopping...<br />my chest hurts....why am I doing this?...I could be...ASLEEP RIGHT NOW.<br /><br />Good luck in Tupelo.
