Traveling Classes

For the past week I have been worried about the traveling class that we did this morning at BodyBack. I have been stressed out that I wouldn't do good, that I would be holding everyone back again. Just like last time. I need to get over it!

So I started the class feeling really good, keeping a good pace some where around the middle of the pack. About halfway through the class I really started to slow it down and mentally I was doing this because I started to worry that I wasn't going to make it to the end without stopping.

That is my thing, if I stop, I feel like I have given up. And if I feel like I have given up I feel like a total loser! We ran the hill again, only once, but it was pretty brutal, when I had the idea that we were going to run the hill I slowed it down even more.

I made it through the class just fine, I was breathing a little hard, but at the end when we were finished, I realized that I didn't push myself hardly at all the second half of the class. I was so disappointed in myself.

I spend so much time talking about how much I suck at running that I try to make excuses for myself, I realized today that I can run without stopping, heck I did for almost 8 miles at the half. Now I need to work on speeding it up a bit.

I know that we are all on our own journey and I need to get out of my comfort zone. I need to pick up the pace and get a move on. So next traveling class I am going to make sure I push myself so that when we finish the hour long class I can be proud of finishing and not just going through the motions.
