I have realized in the past week that when it come to my running (and my weight loss) that I am an all or nothing kind of girl. If I am going for a run, I run whatever I have set for that day. If it may be 2 miles, I run 2 miles, I don't walk it's not an option. At the end of the 2 miles I do my cool down and my stretching and I am done.
I started thinking the other day, why don't I do more? Why not run my miles, then walk then maybe jog another mile then do a cool down? Why not make it a better longer workout? For whatever reason I can not wrap my mind around the fact that it is ok to walk. In my head for me personally I feel like a failure if I walk. If I am going to run 5 miles, then I am going to run 5 miles, I am not going to run 2 walk 1 and then run 2. I can't get my mind frame out of the fact that it is ok. Get a better longer workout in. This is something I am going to work on in the future. If I am out there why not burn as many calories as I can? Any suggestions to get my mind out of this warped "all or nothing" mind frame would be greatly appreciated.
