AHHH, GRRRR.

I'm feeling a bit discouraged after yesterday's run. I went back to Greenlake since it was a beautiful evening and I felt like I've somewhat outgrown my little 10 blocks of sidewalk out my front door. But again, like Tuesday's run, it was HARD. Not just the amount of hard that the beginning of a new week is, but makes-you-wonder-if-you're-cut-out-for-this-kind-of-things hard. I still wasn't able to make it through the entire 5 minute interval, but unlike Tuesday, I couldn't even make it through the first 3 minute interval. I tried to run for two counts of 60 and walk for a count of 45 but it didn't really line up with the intervals on the podcast and I don't think I even ran as much as I did on Tuesday. I don't know if it really is just harder now, or if there is something about Greenlake that makes it seem so much harder. I'm going to try running in my little 10 block stretch again tomorrow, and hopefully it will seem much more attainable than it did at Greenlake yesterday. If it doesn't, then I can't help but feel that my goal of running the Fremont 5K is unattainable.
