Set Back

I went running this morning. And it was HARD !

I left my flat at 7:05. I started with my 5 minutes walk. Then I started running, everything was fine. I thought I was going faster than the other times, but looking at my watch I realised I was going REALLY faster than on Saturday.
I just added about 2 miles to my usual route to go to the Queen's Club Gardens, and I was there 2 minutes early than when I did not add those 2 miles... And obviously I started having trouble breathing well. So I decided to walk for 2 minutes. After that I was ok, so I started running again. After 5 minutes, I got a cramp on my left thigh. So I stopped to stretch a little then continued running. After 2 minutes I had a cramp in my right thigh ! I was PISSED. I stopped to stretch and went on running. After 5 minutes I couldn't breathe well and my lung hurt. And I was SOOO hungry ! I had a hole in my stomach...

That was it. I kept running/walking. Finally, I did that for 30 minutes, but it was hard and I ran nowhere 30 minutes, maybe 20 minutes but that is a max.

Not every day can be a good day. I had a bad day running but on Thursday I will rock my run. Especially since I have a little money and am about to treat myself with some running goodies :)
