Tonight as part of my half marathon training I had to run sprints. I loathe sprints. They hurt. I get winded. They wear me out. I'm usually sore for a day. If i had my way, I'd never do them. But to reach some of my fitness/running goals, sprints are a good idea, despite my feelings for them.
All day today I dreaded them and nearly talked myself out of running sprints a few times. But then I was reminded that sometimes to reach a goal, you have to endure the tough/not so fun experiences.
What are your goals?
What are the steps you need to get there?
Which of those steps are your "sprints"?
How will you handle them?
Will you talk yourself out of them or will you lace up your shoes and hit the pavement?
Tonight, though I'm sore, I feel strong. I still dread the sprints, but I value the goal more.
