I'm struggling to stay motivated. Two week ago I did a mad long run in three stages to break through my sense of dullness. It probably did more harm than good as I was in moderate pain for a f... read more

alright local 2.77 2.77 mi 00:34 12:09 pace
It's been over two weeks since my last run. I hope I'm back. My overall pace was slow but better than I expected since I was alternating walking with running after the first mile.
