A Positive Attitude

I have noticed that I have been a little lot of negativity coming from me lately and I don't like it one little bit.  I'm sure my husband doesn't appreciate it too much.  Actually I know he doesn't.  He has even told me that, my negativity has rubbed off on him.  Now I am sure this is partially true, but his project at work doesn't help.

I want to and I am ready to make a change. I would much rather be a positive person who inspires others.  Not a negative person who people avoid.  Besides my life is pretty amazing, besides the winter blues that I get every year.

I have a wonder husband who is supportive of me and this crazy running addiction I have developed.

I have three handsome, happy and healthy boys I get to be with every day and who tell me daily that they "wuv" me.  They have come to realize that I like to run and enjoy coming to races to support me.

I am fortunate enough to be able to stay home with my boys when I realized I wanted to be with them, and not working.
And there is so much more that I could go on for a while.

We have a nice house, great family, and a great life.  So I need to lose this negativity.  There are going to be rough days or nights, but it could be much worse.

It is time that I focus on being positive because a positive attitude can take me much farther.  Just as in training, if I  believe i can run farther I can.  So if I focus on the positive, I  will be more positive.  It is all mental game.  I have to train myself to stay positive untold it becomes second nature.

It is time for me to start a whole new type of training.

On the running front, I ran 3.5 miles pushing the double stroller.  I warmed up for .5 miles, then started my intervals. Run 1 minute, jog for 2 minutes.  During the run I wanted under a 9:15 pace, since I was pushing the stroller.  All but two reps were under 9:00 mile per minute pace.  For the jog, I wanted to stay under 11:00 mile per minute pace.  Most were at a 10:45 mile per minute pace.  My legs are still pretty tired from Sunday's 15K.

Overall, I am very happy with my second interval run.

Stay positive and happy running!
