A couple of entries ago I blogged about getting sluggish in my running. Since then any chance I got I have been running. I do not see any progress or change so far. I have started over, evidently, and for no apparent reason.
It frustrates me because I didn't slack off and take a day off here or there. The only thing I changed was running with a friend rather than running by myself. The only thing I can think of is that I am going at a faster pace (she runs at a much faster pace than me) and therefore, I don't run as far of a distance without having to stop.
I have tried to run on my own and slow my pace but my legs get tired. I thought my legs might be hurting because I was slacking off on strength training, therefore, I have made it a point to do my strength training, but with no results as far as my running goes. I went running on my lunch break today and my legs were just burning.
I have to do something to get out of this rut! Or to at least accept it and move on. If I can make some progress toward where I was before then it may be easier. I am really starting to beat myself up over it and that has to stop before I decide to give up all together. I am going to put some effort into finding a motivator or some encouragement! I may have lost some of the progress I have made, but not all of it. I am still out there able to run a few steps and not sitting on the couch being depressed.
