I just ...I'm a long time stalker of your blog. I just wanted to say (from one runner to another) that I'm so proud of you! I'm in TX and it's HOT here (111 degrees today) and I'm training for my first half marathon. I needed to read this today b/c right now it's very difficult for me to give my all! I'm waking up at 4 a.m. to beat the heat and it's still 90 degrees (and humid) when I go out! You will conquer the 4.5 miles! I ran my first 10 mile run this past Saturday and I never thought I was capable! If we can do this in the heat, we will be unstoppable this winter! Hang in there and keep on runnin'Aimeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09736038178122445884noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2667216505702880938.post-15845814276673825362011-08-02T09:08:50.135-07:002011-08-02T09:08:50.135-07:00I too am harder on myself than I ever would be on ...I too am harder on myself than I ever would be on other people.

The fact ...2.5 miles in sweltering heat is awesome! The fact that you've been running three months and are setting out for 4.5 miles is great - I'm starting the C25K program this week (as soon as my running shoes arrive) and to hear success stories motivates me all the more! Good luck with the training this week and I'm sure you'll knock out the 4.5 miles soon!Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14412041923584037671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2667216505702880938.post-43322347793030842982011-07-31T22:05:48.248-07:002011-07-31T22:05:48.248-07:00Hot running can suck it.

It sounds like you are accomplishing amazing things. I, too, feel sometimes like I could have pushed myself farther or faster, but then I have to stop myself from being too hard on myself.

But you are so right -why can't we always do this for ourselves? Glad you are giving yourself a break and cheering yourself on.
