Today’s run sucked. I had 4.5 miles on the schedule, was going to do my 9 mile long run instead, and ended up with 3.1.
Ugh.
My stomach hurt pretty much from the get-go. I couldn’t get my breathing regulated and I felt like crap pretty much the whole run.
But they can’t all be good runs, right?
So, as I was thinking about that, this quote came to mind. I don’t know who said it, but I know that its just what I need to hear. Yesterday’s run was awesome. I did speed work and ran 8 X 400 meters at a 9:22 pace. I was flying. I felt alive and so happy. And I was on the treadmill.
Today? Today was terrible. My pace was decent–when I could run. About a 10:00/mile. But I had to walk so much I ended up with a 12:27 pace.
The thing that irritates me the most is that the weather is PERFECT for a run. 68 degrees, not a cloud in the sky, sunny, pretty windy, but otherwise gorgeous. I ran in shorts and a t-shirt. In the middle of March. In Nebraska. That was fantastic!
Tomorrow its suppose to rain, but I think I may try for my 9 miles outside anyway. I don’t think I can handle the treadmill for nearly 2 hours! 🙂
Happy Saturday friends!
