My time for this half marathon was slower than any of the ones I've done, and that includes Motive, which was a much tougher course. Like.. 8 minutes slower. I'm not sure how I fell back into the realm of 12 minute miles, but I'm not pleased about it, and I don't know how to fix it. I've been blaming it on injury, but I can't even pinpoint what I think my injury is ("it hurts.. around in here.. sorta"). And that makes me start to feel like a hypochondriac and that I'm using the idea of an injury as a crutch. Or if I AM injured, I don't know how to fix it. I took advil before the run yesterday, which I really didn't want to do, and I don't think I ended up limping/lurching very much, but .. I was so slow. It makes me sad. I was getting to where I liked running and was proud of myself for my times which were slower than most people, but still fast for me. Now I'm back to slow for me.
I wish I knew what to do. To get to where I was proud of myself for my performance, even if it's 11 minute miles. I can be proud of that. I'm tired of being proud of myself "for finishing".
I did sign up for Freescale last night. That one I might actually be proud of myself if I finish it, given how slow I've become and how much running hurts currently.
Sorry for the negativity. Um. You asked.
