BAH!
Officially the first REALLY bad run I've had in a LONG time.
I went out with the intention of doing an easy 10k. It's 1 degree celcius outside, but I was dressed to run in it.
The first 4km weren't so bad, but I was moving pretty slow --- but things quickly went downhill from there. By the end I was walking, cold, and ended up getting on the bus to come home.
I keep telling myself it was just a bad run, and they happen --- but my motivation is lagging some. I can't imagine feeling fantastic running outside in the dead of January.
I have ALOT of cross-training scheduled for this winter - tennis, ballet, not to mention gym work. After today's bad run I'm honestly thinking of canning the Chilly Half and training indoors all winter where I'll be warm and happy.
I miss those Spring mornings when I would wake up at 6:30 am totally psyched to get down to the Lake and be in the sunshine....... why can't all running be like that?
