So a couple of days ago I was feeling too sick to go running. Yesterday I thought I was going to be ok, but decided to run on a treadmill in case I didn't feel well. I ran for a mile, and then stopped. Today, I was still mixed, feeling about the same as yesterday, but finally convinced myself to run in the nice weather. I pushed myself through the pain, and ran 5 miles! Afterward, I felt better than ever. Of course, at certain points I needed to use my mind to overcome my body, but it was worth it. With a treadmill, that's much harder to do...it's much easier for your mind to win the argument.
Whoever said that running was a mental sport more than a physical sport was absolutely correct.
