I did tempo run. I was originally planning to jog, but I felt sufficiently recovered from a long run three nights ago. But when I saw my lap in the first 2.5 K, I was shocked that I was running much slower than I thought I was.
I tried to pick up the pace, but I couldn't. I thought of giving up, but then if I did, quitting could become a habit. I went on. The lap continued to suck until the end. But facing a miserable self is an important part of becoming a stronger version of myself, so I kept on running until I finally reaching the target distance of 10 K!
Tonight I learned the hard way that I need at least two days of easy run between two challenging sessions, such as intervals, tempo run, and LSD.
