Failure

The run yesterday was nice because it was cooler outside and I did not sweat nearly as nice. It is definitely nicer to run when it is cooler. So I tried to complete Day2 of Week 5 once again and I was unable to finish it once again. UGH! Halfway through my calves starting hurting really bad and really hindered my running. I actually had to stop running to do some more stretching. I did stretch before the run and I thought that I stretched quite a bit. I think I really need to find some more stretches for calves.

I was also using a podcast to run to but I think I am going to change that. The podcasts are nice because they encourage you. But the music is horrible and something that is hard for me to listen to. About halfway through I turned off the podcast and just ran to my own music and then the second half of the run went a lot better.

My next 5k is in three weeks. I do not think I will be able to finish the program by then. I can accept that. My new goal is to finish under 40 minutes and get a new personal record. So I will just keep training and just do the best that I again
