Angie, thank you for ...Can I comment on a comment? Angie, thank you for putting a name (HALT) to that negative thought pattern. It is something I struggle with under stress and it really helps to see that it in fact has a clinical explanation. No I can attack it better because it's been identified.<br /><br />Anyway, I ran the first 9 or so miles with Mary Beth and it was a tough, tough race even for me who was well rested, not breastfeeding, and pouring water over her head every 2 miles to keep coolish. Remember that marathon I ran in the fall, the one I did train for, and bonked 25 minutes slower than my goal? Yep. Here's to just crossing the finish line!Mojonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7669232949254960562.post-8724774146467957152011-06-03T06:59:01.758-04:002011-06-03T06:59:01.758-04:00That is amazing.

I have that same inner voice, so I am telling you something I need to remind myself of everyday. There is an acronym that is used in recovery called H.A.L.T. Hungry. Angry. Lonely. Tired. That is the formula for negative thinking and self-abuse which leads to real abuse. So, it is a very real phenomenon to be tired, hungry, lonely and start getting into a pattern of abusive thinking. Anyway, the point here is that I think you are amazing to even take on a half-marathon and barely train and FINISH it. I couldn't have finished. No way. No how. Sending you love and in awe.still life angiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15150141781089602529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7669232949254960562.post-29591019196810066612011-06-03T05:05:34.376-04:002011-06-03T05:05:34.376-04:00Yea, what Sally and Jeanette said.

My negative thoughts mostly creep in in work settings.<br /><br />But hey, you kept going, and your kids saw you do it.

Usually I recognise what's hapenning, but not before I generally feel pretty awful.Jeanettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11423818333034603238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7669232949254960562.post-5497697698645210092011-06-03T00:14:30.810-04:002011-06-03T00:14:30.810-04:00Go you indeed!

I have a rule about running: I don't run. Oh, that's unless I'm being chased....<br />xoHope's Mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04984543289642681339noreply@blogger.com
