The Missing Ingredient.

Hi hi!

Well as the title says, there is a missing ingredient. I will explain this.

Background:
I was doing really good with the running.. like a month ago. haha! I even did a 4.5 mile run at one point, which was mentioned in an earlier post. However, I got really busy with lacrosse practice, and I didn't really want to push myself too hard where I was running and then going to lacrosse. I did that for a week, and I was completely gone by the end of the week. Just completely exhausted. Needless to say, the next week I didn't really run at all. I promised myself at the end of that week that the next week I would run the days I didn't have lacrosse practice. Well guess what happened?

Next:
I flippin' got injured at a lacrosse game at a tournament. I rolled my ankle, and wasn't able to walk, let alone, run during that whole week. Now it's been like 3-4 weeks since I have run, and I have no idea how to convince myself how to get back into it. Now, anyone who knows me, knows that i'm not really the type to be totally into running, nor would I be good at it, but I really really miss it. I may not be fast (I run a 10:30 mile), and I may look ridiculous running with my beat red face and breathless breathing, but I do miss it. There's that part in me that just wants to get back to it, but at the same time I have one thing going through my head.
1. I'm going to go and not be able to run as far as I did when I stopped, or I will be incredibly slow.

Future:
I have a 10K race on April 28th. That's about 2.5 months from now. How the heck am I going to show up to that, and run it successfully if I can't get myself to run? Plus the fact that I was only running on a treadmill, and I don't care what anyone says, it's completely different than running outside. If I start running strictly on the treadmill for the next 2.5 months, even if I was running 6.2 miles, I won't be ready for that race, and I don't want to fail epically. So for now, I am hoping that my ankle is completely healed real quick, and for warm enough weather where I can run outside, because I don't want to break my goal. I want to run that race, and not be dead last, and I want to run the whole thing.

Maybe I should go running tonight...? hahaha. That's a good joke, right?
