I'm not sure if running the two days in a row was too much for my body or what, but it seems like ever since then, I've had nothing but trouble.
I have done some runs, but nothing like what I was doing before, and am now a whole week behind in my training schedule. Something has happened to my passion for running again, too, and I have even been seriously contemplating quitting running altogether and doing something different. Why? Because my "getting older" body is starting to show signs of not liking this running thing after all. Either that, or this is just a hiccup that I will eventually get over.
My plan is to give it one more week ~ this week ~ before deciding whether or not to switch to a different form of exercise, something that I know I will equally love. This week I will attempt to repeat last week's 3-3-3 and see how I do.
Running has its challenges. But I love it. And I love how it brings out the tougher side of me. The side that wants to win. Not for the glory, but for the challenge. Several months ago, an injury threatened to stop me for good, but I wouldn't let go until I found a way back. 19 days of re-training later--on Easter Sunday 2012--I was back to running 5K. Join me as I progress from here, I'd love your feedback about your own experiences!
