Tug of War

I’m trying to stick to my regimen of running at East End Park on Tuesday evenings, even though it is usually a solo venture rather than a TTN club outing.

The temperature was hot, yet I find it a lot more tolerable that the lofty humidity levels we've endured over the last couple months. East End park was absolutely stunning this evening. There was a small breeze and everything looked picturesque.

I was excited to be back on the trails which I love. Unfortunately, there was a deeper struggle. I felt mentally weak and found myself battling internal conflict to stay in (running) motion. The plan was to run the entire three mile loop. In the end I ran intervals intermixed with walking recoveries.

The run was enjoyable. Somehow, some way I need to work on both my mental and physical fitness.

Run:
2.25 miles
25:41
11:25 pace

Walk:
0.95 mile
16:58
17:52 pace
