I ran a 10K about a week ago and I’m still a little disappointed with my time. It wasn’t a good race for me, my legs hurt from about the 2K mark all the way to the end.
But it was the same course that I ran last year (my first 10K event ever) and I added five minutes to my time. It’s the first time I’ve run something slower than a time I’ve set previously.
It’s not hard to see why, I didn’t do the same prep work – I haven’t found the time or had the energy to do long runs yet this year. Until recently the weather hasn’t been co-operating – either way to cold or raining.
One of the problems with falling in love with running outside, is it’s nearly impossible to convince yourself to get any distance done on the treadmill. What do you think is motivation?
