How depressing

1.27k was all I managed before my ankles locked, my soleous burned and I had to stop. Hurt just to walk  back. So frustrating, so depressing. Don't know how to improve this. Just trying my arse off here for no gain.

If at first you don't succeed.

Boy, sometimes it can be difficult to get going. It's definitely been the case for me recently. I've been averaging about 2 runs per month over the past 3 months. 

I'm grateful that I've got this blog and it's shown it's value to me. Simply because I can look back on past struggles and see that actually I can overcome because I have in the past. 

I just feel a bit hopeless at the moment. Very small runs (2-3k) and even with those distanced still feeling pain in my legs and puffed out - needing to walk. Perhaps its just perseverance and patience that I am lacking - being too hard on myself.

I'm going to go for volume this time - running more days than not, rather than the usual 3 times a week. I'm wary of getting injured again but I'm just trying to get into some sort of rhythm here to get out of the rut of sitting on the sofa not wanting to move.
