Total distance: 1.18 miles
It
was kind of dreary all day, and me being the weirdo I am got pretty excited
about that fact. I was overdue for a run. So
overdue. And yet… and yet, my body wasn’t nearly as enthused as I was,
because despite the perfect temperature, it was another disappointing run.
I was
mentally berating myself for most of the second half of the run – I had run
almost an hour last week, and now I could barely handle the idea of anything
over fifteen minutes? Even knowing that I wasn’t planning on running a long
time or distance today, my legs felt really heavy and sluggish. I felt slow. I
felt, once again, like I was regressing.
I
threw in the towel at fifteen minutes, resolving to be better at hitting the
trail more often this week and build myself back to where I was. I was almost
afraid to check my time when I was done, knowing that I’d been kind of trudging
along. Surprisingly, it’s not the slowest I’ve been, but I was back to ~12.8
min/mile again.
I
guess that’s the problem with it feeling like spring again – I’m starting to
RUN like it’s spring again. Starting over after a long break.
