Walk
Duration: 01:06:56
Average Speed: 3.58 mph
Distance: 4.00 miles
After completing a mile walking, I set my interval timer for 2 mins on (jogging) and 1 min off (walking), the same as I did the last time I "jogged." This time, I decided to try a mile. After that I continued walking.
When my run tracker announced that I had made it to 3 miles in 49 mins, I couldn't help but to think that I would need to shave 20 minutes off of that to get back to my former PR, to even make it a "respectable" 5k time. Here I was exhausted, feet tired, and out of breath from trying to push my pace. Right now, it seems impossible to me to take 20 mins off.
I was frustrated to the point of tears rolling down my face.
When I got back home, I had to put on my ankle braces because I knew that I would need them to take some pressure off my feet for the grocery store run I needed to make. My feet were really tired after my lackluster walk...
I cooked my meals for the week when I returned.
While cooking and for the rest of the night, I just tried to forget the day. I elevated, iced, and took ibuprofen. My feet were more sore than usual. No more jogging for a while.
