Today my run sucked. That's all there is to it. 10 miles of pain. My leg hurt and I was just dragging. At the end of the run I looked at my avg pace and it was 20 seconds slower than my normal pace. UGH!
I hate days like today. I still did my miles so I should be happy - but that's not really me. I need some time to beat myself up a little.
Maybe it's the fact that my body still thinks it's 4:00 am - thank you so much daylight savings. Maybe I didn't eat right yesterday or drink enough water. Maybe running our loop backwards was just that much harder. Who knows. And honestly I don't care what excuse I can come up with I want to feel stronger on my next run than I did today. The only thing that got me through the run at all was the fact that I was running with my 2 girls and they pushed me to keep going. Without knowing it they totally kept me going. By the end of the run I had both ears plugged into my iPod and I was 3 feet behind them just trying to finish the run. The last 1 1/2 miles was so hard but I did it because I wasn't alone. Thank goodness for friends!
Your 98% further than everyone else who doesn't run. Personally I got over speed in running a long time ago, maybe that is because I am old and fat and slow and I run more for the enjoyment of the run. And ironically for me I enjoy running more by myself than with other because of the pace and comparison aspect, I feel I need to go faster. Just keep on keeping on!
