Wow what an incredible failure..(and what i learned)

So as you all know, (especially tiny2b because i freaking commented to her 50 time) I was planning on going on a jog this morning, and I was debating between 3-4 miles.  Well I got up, I ate my 1/2 banana, i put on my clothes, got my ipod together etc and was all ready.  Last night I had decided that I would do a 4 mile run cuz worst comes to worst, if I can jog all of it, I’d walk etc etc. so i was all ready, went outside and was all pumped, walked my first 5 min like tiny2b had suggested, and then when it came time to jog, i could jog literally no more than 30 seconds before i had to stop.  i tried again a few minutes later, and again failed at jogging. it was awful. i walked the rest of my way, and cut it short and basically walked about 3 miles. which im fine about. but now i wish i had just got up early and gone to the gym, so i could have felt more successful and energized this morning, and less like a total joke.

things i learned:

1) i dont/cant jog outside (at least i’ve got that desire out of my system)

2) i dont plan on doing an outdoor 5k anytime soon/ever. im sticking to my indoor running, where i can actually feel and be successful at being semi athletic.

ugh this morning was a bummer. at least i got in some walking, since i dont have time for the gym today. i just wish i had gone to the gym from the beginning and not tried to do this ridiculous outdoor thing.

blah.

Lovely thursday! big plans for a fri am run! we’ll see!

so, no workout today because i stayed late to do extra work hours! the good news is! im done making up work hours! now im back to 8 hour days for my last three days of work! woohoo!

so, im contemplating/highly considering going to bed within the hour and getting up EARLY but with 7 hours of sleep, to do a 4mile loop on my campus tomorrow morning. i would just jog as much of it as i could and then walk the rest, and then it really shouldnt take more than 1 hour even with walking because i can easily
walk a 15 min mile. then i’d come back, shower and go to work. i’m kind of nervous but also excited. worst comes to worst, i cant jog it any longer, and I walk..right? or am i being too ambitious to run 4 miles outside when i havent even run 4 miles in the gym, and should i either just go to the gym tomorrow a.m. or find a run outside that is more like 3 miles which is what i’ve done?? help?
