Mind Over Matter!

Mind over matter doesn’t always work. At least that’s what I found out this morning when I tried to jump out of bed like a Pop Tart. My plan was to run 6.6 miles for three days straight but that doesn’t always work when you’re me and you’re pushing 49. Yesterday after I was over my high of actually running that far I felt like a zombie I had no energy and no appetite. I went to bed at 9:30pm and woke up this morning at 8:00am that NEVER happens, I’m usually wide awake before 6:00am. When I got out of bed EVERY part of my legs hurt but I kept moving thinking it would go away NOPE no such luck! My body was saying “DON'T DO IT” but my brain was saying “SHIT THE HELL UP” I won’t bore you with the detail of another Fight but this time my body won. I only ran about two and a half miles and walked the rest for a total of 3.6….LESSON LEARNED…Listen to your body or you’ll pay the price!!!!
