Mental

Today's run was pretty hard.

When I woke up at 5am to head to the gym, it was a whopping 19 degrees outside. That's not exactly inspirational weather. Add to that the fact that I was tired (it's been a busy few days) and just wanted to hibernate in bed, I knew that today wasn't looking good for my 4 mile run.

That said, I forced myself out of the warm cocoon that is my bed and did it anyway. I'm learning a lot about myself and my body with this whole marathon training thing. In fact, I think it's more mental than it is physical. I'm trying to use these days that I just don't feel like it to work through the mental part. I think that's what's going to get me from mile 25 to mile 26.2.

Anyone else have some sort of thing that they had to mentally get through? Any tricks?
