So in about a week, I'm running a 5K race with my friend Brittany (I posted about it here) and today I went on a 3 mile run--yay! It was pretty cold out, but luckily (?!), I had been wide awake since 6am, so I had lots of energy and motivation by noon, so I was ready to go!

But I just kept reminding myself of two things:
