LaraStar's Journal, 14 April 2012

I haven't hit a plateau...I have hit a wall! A mental one. I just couldn't stick to healthy eating even though I knew what I should have done, I just couldn't. A lot of stress in my family hasn't helped. Things are still tough but I have had a better day today so far. Went for an early morning run which cleared my head and made me feel good. It has also helped to look after myself better and to make good food choices. I have just read lots of articles on Runner's World for extra motivation. Exercise is definitely the way forward! If my legs are ok tomorrow, I will go for another longer run.

Hey Lara, girl. Glad to see you back. I understand that stress stuff and have those days. Good deal on your run. Hope you get in another tomorrow. Have a great day.

Heather...I hope you're having a good day too. Isn't it amazing how exercise makes you feel so much better? The difficult thing is to get off your butt in the first place but once you're into it, it's like therapy! Especially running...it's very addictive and nothing clears my head in the same way. Let's hope there will be lots of sunny days, I'm definitely a good weather runner!

Yep, it definitely does that. I do hope you get lots of sunny days, and that you get to watch some of the Boston Marathon on Monday!

I love watching marathons. It amazes me that I wouldn't be able to keep up with the winner's pace for my 5k. They are incredibly fast! The world record is 2h3min38sec! Awesome!

With the food or anything you don't do right, forgive yourself and get right back on track. Otherwise you just end up giving up. Good luck!

That is an awesome time on that world record. I don't know how they do it.

Tinkerbell...Thanks for the good advice. I hope I have turned a corner. In the last 2 weeks I fell constantly off the horse, one bad choice after another. Feeling much better this weekend.
