Let me backtrack. Last weekend the track that I usually run at was closed and I had to run outdoors. It's pretty chilly here so I've been running inside. That day the weather was nice but I wasn't having a great running day. A lot of the track was covered with snow, & I was cold, so maybe that was part of it. But I just couldn't find my groove. I walked a lot more than I ran, and for the first time I started to think maybe I will never achieve my running goals. It seemed like I'd been working so long and not seeing very much progress.
Then a few days later I went back to the regular indoor track and did one full lap without stopping, right off the bat. I know that to a runner, that's no big deal, but for me it was HUGE progress. I was on Cloud 9 for days.
I'm still so so far away from being able to run a 5k & I worry that I won't be there by May for the race I'd like to run but seeing that little success brought back my hope and determination.
