Ran this morning, and, once again, it did not go well. I was supposed to go 45 minutes and could barely eke out 38, with lots of breaks! When I got back home, crying, my husband suggested that maybe I put too much pressure on myself regarding my running performance to the point that I don't enjoy running. I think he definitely has a point. When a run goes badly, it affects my whole day, especially when I run in the morning. If an evening run goes badly, I'm annoyed only until I go to bed!
I realized this morning that running in the morning makes me dread running. I don't like feeling that way, so I'm going back to nights (except for long runs)! I really think that my body just doesn't function as well in the mornings! |
