This has been a rough week for me. I feel like every run since Sunday has been an epic fail. Tuesdays hill session produced less than desirable results and last nights tempo run was a total epic fail. Last nights failure was in part to running way to fast which lead to one of the most painful upper diaphragm stiches I've ever had.
It would also seem like here I am yet again running by myself. I don't get it. Why do I always seem to be in between? Why can't I get this? Why is everything so freaking hard? How the hell am I going to be expected to do 10K tempo runs when I can't even do a 3km tempo run successfully?
Last night I ended up in the corner flat on my back while I tried to regain control of my breathing and eliminate the agonizing pain in my chest. I was beyond embarrassed and felt humiliated.
Frustration had become a constant companion and I suspect it's because I keep setting overly ambitious goals to try and attain.
Why?
Do I really need to keep training with the 2:15 group? Wouldn't it be easier to go with the 2:30 group? What is it within me that drives me to pick the hardest challenge? I'm tired, I'm burnt out and ready to fall down.
Good thing I have another tempo run scheduled for tonight.
