Comments: Psychotic run. Started great. I felt strong. Good pace. I was upbeat and feeling great. Most of the run was workmanlike and professional. Pushing a good pace and concentrating on the technique.
But it ended like crap. I was planning to go 45 minutes but there just wasn't enough in the tank. at about the half-hour mark I started dragging and really struggling. I was deterimined to see it through but I had a stitch in my side and that weird flutter in my knee showed up.
So I cut it short. Only three minutes but it's the point of the thing that bothers me. I have been at this since January. I really should be showing some kind of progress but my knee continues to be a problem and I can't seem to even get the routine runs done without struggling. When the hell am I supposed to show progress?
