Fantastic run... not so great study session.

First the bad news:

I only studied 2hours today for my Economics exam and didn't even open my Commercial law or Business management textbooks. Well as a promise to myself, tomorrow I will study at least 3 hours for each module.

Now the good news:

Today I had probably one of the best runs ever.

I started out slow wanting to turn around more with each stride I took, but with each stride I took, I also had more motivation to go on further. Later on I was thinking just until the end of the road then I will stop, start walking, turn around and head back home, but with each end of the road I got more energy to go on further.

The mind vs body battle

With each step further, I guess my mind finally won the battle over my tired body and my breathing went from a lot of huffing and puffing to a slow steady pace. Soon I was running through every road in my neighbourhood. Then I almost got lost and had no idea which road to take back home!

Unfortunately then I remembered what every running article I ever read said

'Only increase your distance by 10%'

So I started running back home, but I can't wait for tomorrow even though I know there will be some struggles, I am ready to take on the challenge of the road again.
