Out of Shape

Who knew that my run this morning would be completely through sand? That's how I felt. I optimistically put on my power running clothes and headed out the door for a 45-60 minute run. HA! I was breathing too hard at 1/2 mile and had to walk at mile one. Pathetic. The power of the cool workout clothes did not help today.


Oh Crap! How is it that I could do two triathlons, two half marathons, and a marathon this year and be OUT OF SHAPE? (maybe it is the two and a half months I have tapered my workouts down to nothing?) I am disgusted with myself, but I know that I can get there again. I have big plans for the year, but I feel as if I am starting at square one, and I am mad at myself. I know that the best thing to do is move forward and place one foot in front of the other, but I am depressed at my lack of conditioning. Ugh.

Here's to a more dedicated 2009.
