Went to the gym this morning to make up for not going yesterday.
Though the plan was to be on the treadmill by 5:30 .....
.... I think I might need to adjust that plan ....
I was there by 6.
I started running and it was feeling great. I bumped up the speed a little -
and things continued to feel pretty darn good.
And then I crashed!
I felt that I was getting a little tired; so I slowed the pace back down some.
And then, against my better judgement, I took a walking break.
And I know from experience - for me anyways - I cannot get my muscles moving again once I slow them down.
So instead of torturing myself to finish the workout by thinking I could start running again - and then going back to walking - and so on -
I ended with a brief cool down on the elliptical. Did some stretching. And headed home.
Final thoughts .... I love that the distance I did run, felt good. It felt easy. I was bummed that I didn't complete the mileage I wanted to and that I feel like the workout just bombed halfway through.
