For example, today wasn’t about a distance goal or a specific pace. I told myself that I’m going to run 90 minutes at whatever pace I was feeling comfortable at. Even when you become more experienced at running, you’re always going to have days where you’re mentally exhausted & want to quit early.

And don’t worry about how fast or slow you run. No one is judging you. Running is all about setting goals for yourself. It’s why I love it and the running community is overly supportive & positive. Even when racing competitively, we’ll always encourage someone to keep going if we pass them.

I get what you mean and I’m trying to stay ahead of the goal for that reason. Luckily running is more of a need for me at this point rather than a chore. 😀

Everyone has for their own level. For me, running is part of my discipline that I need in my life so it’s harder not to run than to run. It’s like, I cannot not make my bed in the morning because it’s a part of my routine and if I deviate from the routine, the day is already off.

Yes. I also perm my hair so I know the struggle. Haha. It has expensive, but I remind myself that it will last about 4 months.
