Running is not going so well! I can’t seem to get past that 5k mark without being completely exhausted. I know I can do this, I trained for the 25k (15.5 miles) before my kids were born and I remember having that one day of elation when my body decided to accept what I was doing to it. I will do this. So today I set out to shatter my 5K distance, even if I had to walk.
So I chose one of my favorite runs that starts and ends at our house and passes by beautiful Lake Michigan through Jean Klock park. What I chose to forget is that we are on a pretty large hill and even though it feels great going down it, you always have to come back up to get home.
But I did it, I ran 3.49 miles at a 12 minute pace. I did not even get to Jean Klock park or see the lake because I was too tired and decided to cut my run short but that is beside the point. Feeling rather good about myself I excitedly told my husband about my break through. His response? He started out running the same route but despite the fact he hasn’t run in weeks he felt good, he added some miles, saw the lake, and did it all at a 10:14 pace. GRRRRR!!!!
