Slacking a few days, really doesn't help

So I have put off running for three days. I have this thing about not working out on the weekend. I don't know why, but I just feel that I want to enjoy my weekend and working out seems like work to me and I don't believe in working on the weekend. I think I need to get rid of this theory. It is kind of silly. With that, I had no desire to go out yesterday I also had no desire to go today. It took everything I had in me to make it out this morning. It was definitely tougher then Friday. I think that has to do alot with the three day break.

I went for the 2.5 mil stretch  again. I started off walking and went further then I usually do before starting to run. I thought that maybe this will allow me to run longer and also I can walk faster at first so maybe shed some time off of my run. Well that didn't go to well. I did run for 1.1 miles before walking though. I don't think it is further then last time though. I walked for a little bit and then ran for another .34 miles. So a total of 1.44 miles of running. I guess that is not too bad. I definitely had to push myself a lot to keep running though. There were times I felt like I was doing the running motions but barley moving. Either way I did it. I did it in 37 minutes again. I can't seem to get off this number.

I have been having knee issues today. It is kind of weird. I never have knee problems. It is the only part of me that never has issues. I think I am getting old!! It is just an aching pain. I think I will have to figure out some things I can do to help with this pain. I am happy though that my legs don't hurt. My legs were sore for 2 days after my last run. Not something I really enjoy. Hopefully I won't wake up tomorrow with sore legs!

So as my conclusion, I have learned that it only gets easier if I stick to a routine and run every other day at the very least. That way my body doesn't have time to think that it is normal to just sit around. Maybe it will just realize that it needs the workout and it just becomes a normal easier thing to do. We will see. That is a big step for me!
