I felt very motivated this morning. I don’t worry much about my pace, but I averaged 22’15”/mile, which is faster than normal. Yesterday I was at 24’16”/mile and often it is in the 25’ or 26’ range. I realize that is fairly slow walking, but I feel really proud of myself for doing anything at all. My speed will improve. I just have to do the work to improve my health and speed will come in time. I felt pretty good about this morning though. I would love to do 2 miles in a lot less time and I look forward to being able to do that.
I actually didn’t have much on my mind this morning. I was just vibing to my music and was focused almost entire on getting to Yost Rd and back. Sometimes I worry about not getting back fast enough to remember all the interesting things I thought about while walking, but that was not a danger today.
It looks like I gained everything back from the last couple of days. That’s an illusion most likely; I was so thirsty last night that I drank about half a gallon of water just during the night. I feel saturated today… oversaturated. I don’t know why I felt so dried out; I keep pretty hydrated. My body must have been working on some secret project. If it says it needs water, who am I to say otherwise?
