I'm getting really discouraged with running. I suck. And bad. I just feel miserable the entire time and I'm not sure why. I need to get outside later this week and see if that makes a difference, because as of now, I'm ready to bow out of the race and try to regain my enjoyment. I don't want to feel this miserable and discouraged for the next 3 months.
Maybe I need to really consider doing the Jeff Galloway method of walking and running, but I don't want to be staring at my watch the entire time I'm running either. Not sure what to do.
Abripper was better this morning. I hate how much it hurts my hip flexors. He says something about that, so they must be part of your core. It hurts.
I did okay with calories over the weekend - at least yesterday I did. I didn't count calories after lunch on Saturday and used Saturday night as a splurge meal. We went to the Karners and Jane made soup, so I didn't eat a ton of calories for dinner... but then I had a piece of chocolate cake, 2 glasses of wine and some Bailey's. So there you go - my splurge was on booze. And I hardly drank any water yesterday so I am again retaining water, because I certainly did not splurge enough to gain 3 lbs over the weekend. Hammering the water today - already at 64oz for the day and its 9am.

you may be discouraged -- i understand the ups and downs, but from an outsider looking in, you are an inspiration, and have made phenomenal progress overall. you can run 7 miles in 9:30's!! That is incredible. Look back from 2 years ago, and I hope you will feel some sense of accomplishment -- the weight loss, the willness to keep at it, the speed, the endurance you have gained.. the ups and down are natural, I believe, but really take a moment to pat your self on the back! You are awesome!
wow, anonymous! I don't know who you are, but this is such a lovely, wonderful comment - thank you!
