You know the biggest thing I've discovered since I started this new running regimen? It's practically nothing!
Seriously, after a program involving mid-week trainings that took 90 minutes (on a Tuesday or Thursday evening, people!), getting out and run/walking 25 minutes is nada.
But, for some reason, it takes the same amount of energy to motivate me to actually start the workout each day as it did when the workouts were a scheduled 5 hours (that's a 15-mile walk). Go figure.
Once I'm in it, it's practically over and I feel wonderful. But getting my butt off the computer, away from the coffee and into my workout clothes in the morning before the heat of the day strikes - well, that can be tough. Especially since I tell myself, "Eh, it's only 30 minutes. You can handle the heat for 30 minutes. Just go later."
And it's true. I can handle the heat so I happily go later. Sure, the workout is a bit rougher, but at least I'm still getting it done. And it's all because I say "If you can walk 20 miles in 90 degree temps, you can run/walk 30 mins in 95 degrees."
Perspective is a funny thing. Following the 3-Day, I honestly feel like I can do anything.
