Pushing Too Hard, Too Fast

So I learned a lesson today (or shall I say my body learned a lesson today). I'm sitting on my coach in a lot of pain, not able to comfortably walk. Why? Because I decided to not listen to my body signals and keep going to reach my goal. As the Simpsons say, "I am Smart, SMRT."

So I'm going to be recovering for a couple of days, both physically and mentally. A huge part of all of this is mental. You know yesterday when I said if I put my mind to anything I can do it? Well....that's true long term, but not in one sitting.

So I feel a bit defeated. I'm struggling with balancing that I only have 13 weeks to do a 26 week program, and that is affecting how I set my goals. In talking with my husband about it today, and not reaching a goal I seen as failure, versus as feedback of what to do next time. So 4 miles is too much....how will I get to 13? Only time will tell......
