I am so ashamed of myself right now. I know that people were looking to me for inspiration, and I was doing great for a while, but I hit a road block, and I didn't know what to do. So, I failed.
I was training for my marathon. I was up to an average of 25 miles a week, and I went to the gym to do my first 10 mile run. My knee gave out on me during mile 2. I thought I could just keep running, but by mile 4, I was done. I could hardly walk, and it scared me. I didn't step wrong. I was running correctly, but my knee had had it. I have only run twice since. I have only worked out three other times since, and I have gained 10 pounds.
So now, instead of only being 15 pounds from my goal; I'm 25 pounds. However, I REFUSE to gain any more weight. Starting today, I am back on track. I am writing down my food, and I am exercising. I may even go on a couple runs. Eventually, I may try to train for a marathon again, but for the time being, I'm just going to enjoy running.
To my friends who looked at me for inspiration, I'm sorry I let you down. I'm going to try my hardest not to do it again!
