Same Old

Another slow mile, but at least I'm racking them up. I wasn't able to get my time tonight because of human error (I hit the stop button twice without realizing it). But I am sure it was another mile in the 9 minute range, probably around 9:30 (so it's probably best I didn't know). I just couldn't turn it up tonight. My pace was too slow and I couldn't shake it. I had a small kick at the end, but it was too little too late. Mentally I am ready to move on to the next phase, to get out of the rut of slow miles. But physically I am not even close to ready. I'm still feeling too fatigued, and my breathing, though improved, is way too hard. But like I said, I'm in the middle of the hardest part.... getting back into shape. The good news is that my attitude is still positive and I haven't had one temptation to quit yet (knock on wood). Let's hope tomorrow's half-mile run is more promising.
