Today, a friend and I ran 4 miles.
At the end, she reported that we averaged 8:50ish per mile and said, “Anything sub 9 is good.”
I didn’t say it then, but after thinking about it, I’d like to say next time, “Anything done is good.”
Put too much pressure on “sub 9” and you might skip runs altogether when sore or exhausted.
Better to let done be the primary metric you track and allow room for grace when it’s needed.
Because often… grace is needed. And those who can give it are the ones who truly stay on track.
P.s. If staying consistent with positive habits is hard for you (like exercising regularly), stay tuned. My NEW guide is in its final stages of completion…!
