Anyway, Chris was there lifting weights and I was running on the TM. Well, my run was going awful. I had a pain in my right foot, gas cramps in my stomach, stopped to pee twice within the first 2 miles and I was getting completely frustrated. Chris walked over to talk to me and I lost it. I started crying, telling him how frustrating it is to see how slow and how hard running is when it used to come so easily and I could run much faster than I am now. So here I am sobbing while running on the treadmill! People must have thought I was nuts.
Needless to say, after 3.5 miles and having a good cry, my last 3.75 miles were faster and pain free.
I also cried Monday when out for a run with Chris. It was the first time in 5 years that he was faster than me and it upset me so much that I started to cry. I told him how upset it made me to see his backside since running is MY thing. I am the fast one, not him.
On a positive note, I did run 132 miles for the month of January.
I have to admit that I laughed a little. I can't even begin to imagine how very frustrated you must be.
ReplyDeleteIt's only temporary though, that's the great part =) You'll be back kickin' ass & takin' names before you know it!
Don't be to hard on yourself!
It's ok to laugh. Its funny!!
DeleteCan't recommend the running and crying, you'll dehydrate sooner! It does get better, unless you;re old like me......
