I ran 5 in 45 minutes this morning at my moms. I wanted to stop and walk before I even hit a mile! I was huffing and puffing so hard that I about cried! Six weeks without running and I am completely out of shape again! The elliptical and bike do NOTHING to keep your endurance up! I looked at my Garmin at mile 4 and realized that if I ran the last mile in under 8 then I would be at 45 minutes for 5 miles. I ran as fast as I could with both knees stabbing me and got to 5 in 45 and honestly thought I was going to pass out. Everything started to get dark and I was a sweaty mess....and I never really sweat! SAD, SAD DAY! I ran an extra mile tonight with my kids at Dimple Dell trail near Granite Park with lots of horse poo poo. My right knee was stabbing me. Why won't it get better? I am feeling pretty sad for myself tonight! :( |
