"I always loved running...it was something you could do by yourself, and under your own power. You could go in any direction, fast or slow as you wanted, fighting the wind if you felt like it, seeking out new sights just on the strength of your feet and the courage of your lungs."
-Jesse Owens

Bad Run Blues: preventing, working through and forgetting a bad run
By Kendra Cendana, BS Exercise Science & Sports Nutrition Specialist, Master Trainer, fitCHIX Bootcamp
 
You are barely into your first mile of a training run when you just feel blah. You think to yourself, maybe I just need to get warmed up then I will be good to go. By the end of mile two it is just not happening.
