Wk4, WO 3

[ofearthandstars]

It was wonderfully cool this morning, but today's run seemed harder than the previous two. I've felt a little tired and run-down overall the past day or so, as it is, and I felt sleepier than I wanted to be. I think that made my form more sloppy (I forget to keep my pelvis forward, which puts more strain on my hip joints), and I was feeling this run in my left hip/knee as a result. Feeling those twinges definitely made the longer running stretches more mentally challenging for me (do I push through it? do I stop a little sooner? am I going to be in amazing hip pain later?). I was also slower than Wednesday's run.

I think that I may run a few more workouts at Week 4 until I feel like I can complete the run without wanting to collapse constantly feeling the need to check my time.

Yay keeping yourself going even when things are hard. I hope your joints don't suffer too much from the experience. I hope week 4 becomes more comfortable and doable soon!
