Any Runners out there?

Entering day 4 and had some really tough urges last night and again today. But mixed in with plenty of time where things felt good.
It reminded me a bit of running. mom not a big distance runner but I’ll do 3 miles once or twice a week. When I first start the run there is an initial euphoria as my body wakes up and becomes alive. It’s like “hey this feels great! We totally got this run no sweat!” Then about 5 minutes in after probably pushing a pace that was a little too fast the endorphins wear off and reality sinks in That I’ve got a long way to go. How am I feeling? Can I do this? Am I committed? And what do I need to do to make it to my goal of 3-4 miles. Usually I slow my pace down, really start listening to my breathing and my body. occasionally during a run I have to slow to a walk at the end because a muscle or joint had tightened up. But I’ve learned to listen to and obey my body in that regard to prevent a big Injury.

All this to say running feels a bit like rebooting. That first day or two was hard but actually felt really good because I was so energized. But now I’m having to slow down and face the temptations in a new way and ask myself what do I need to do to get through this stretch. Why am I doing this (because I love myself)? Etc.
for right now a post on the forum was needed. Maybe a run this weekend is needed too.

Love to you all.
