I ran four times in 5 days, my first week of becoming a runner so far. But my fourth run, yesterday at the gym, was horrible. I couldn't handle it. So disappointing since I went right after I wrote my last post, where I was feeling all great and motivated. I really felt like I had burned myself out, especially since I also tried to do weights at the gym before my run, and I did about four machines when normally I would do eight, before giving that up too. I was tired, my body didn't want to do it. It also had something to do with looking like shit and being utterly embarrassed when I was making eyes with a very attractive, most likely older, male. (I use my university's gym, so he couldn't have been too much older). So I escaped that, I didn't want him to look at me anymore. Im a big baby.
I get like this, I have problem. I want fast results, and when I need to do something gradually, I tend to overdo it or I just give up. But that isn't going to happen this time, I am going to follow through with the program (Couch to 5K). I need to give myself more rest days I feel, until I get more into it. Eventually, I'd like to be running 5-6 days a week, but it doesn't seem smart now. I'm so out of shape, I hate it.
So, I'm resting today. Which is good also because I got extremely drunk last night. I don't really suffer from hang overs often, but I'm sure that the drinking is not good for my burnt out body either. I did get something good out of last night's drunken shenanigans, I've got a date tonight.
