I got a new treadmill yesterday!
I am excited about that, now I can run from my nice warm house!
I am however feeling very frustrated about my running on schedule situation. For some reason, I can't seem to get through week 4. I did day one last week, and I thought I did fine. Then, I didn't run for a few days, and then tried day 2, later in the week, and COULDN'T finish running, I ended up just walking the last 1/2 mile, because my legs were cramping up so bad, and I was beat.
So, I took a few days off, and tried to stretch a bunch, and decided to start over with day one today. I ended up walking the last 1/4 mile today. I feel like I could just cry. It isn't fun anymore, when I just end up feeling bad about my progress.
I am really unsure what to do, maybe just keep doing the week 4 plan until it is easier.
Any advise from anyone who knows anything about it? By the end of next week, I am supposed to be running a full 2 miles without walking, and right now it is taking all I have to run 1/2 mile twice in one work-out. YIKES! What to do, What to do.
I really am surprised that I am struggling so hard. I have worked my way up slowly, and I just can't seem to get passed this point.
So, then I ask myself... Am I going to be ABLE to run a 5K in MAY?
Sorry about being a downer. I just want to document my thoughts and feeling in my journey, hoping that some day I will look back and laugh at how out of shape I WAS!
