Killer Kensington

Today was not my best day running. The upside is that I went 4 miles...the downside is that running at Kensington Metropark with its hilly terrain kicked my butt.

Since it didn't offer any stop signs to give me a break, I decided it's not just about the journey, but what you see along the journey.

I ended up taking a couple of photo breaks and a couple of hill breaks. That got me over the hump to mile 3 and I ran the rest of the way.

I have to get out of my own way! I had a mental block about going 4 miles, somewhere I'd never been before. With this training program, I'm continuously increasing my mileage so I'd better get over it and bust through that barrier.

Limitation lesson learned.
