Hi All,
I started a training program last week through Fleet Feet sports store, it's the No Boundaries program. It trains beginners to run a 5k in 12 weeks. So, the training is broken down into folks who are more experienced, people who want to step their walking up to jogging, and folks who want to jog/walk intervals, building up to being runners. Well, I'm in the jog/walk group. We do a 5 minute warm up, and walk 1 minute and jog 30 seconds. So, we were out on our run and I found myself at the very back of the slow group. Even the slow group had to slow down for me to catch up with them. Afterwards, a few of the ladies in the slow group were obviously annoyed with me. Also, a friend of mine is in the middle group, they run 30 seconds, walk 30 seconds. She has been a little pushy in her "encouragement". Ok, so I feel like today was a disaster. I made it the entire 2 miles of walking/jogging, but I was at the very end.

Now, I'm feeling like maybe I shouldn't be doing this. Maybe I should quit. Maybe I don't have what it takes to be a runner. I guess I just needed to vent because I'm feeling a little sorry for myself right now. No, I don't want any cheese with this whine, I really just needed to get this off my chest.

Thanks
