Feeling fed up

R2 Wk4 fail 😥. Could not do it this morning. Got half way through, even having to walk last bit of runs. I could cry I feel such a failure. Had zero energy this morning. I’m on 3rd lot of antibiotics for wisdom tooth infection - could that be the reason? I really don’t know ☹️

Sounds like the infection is causing you a lot of misery. Take a day or two rest, regroup and come back when you feel stronger. Don't think of it as a failure, it was just not happening today.

Hey, well done for coming this far, I think you need to sort out the infection, it's definitely the reason you struggled today, it's not a fail, it's a practice run, you can do this. 😊

Hoping to have the tooth out soon, but felt terrible with this infection , although felt well enough and motivated to go this morning. Every inch of me was yelling No! And despite my brain yelling yes! Body won. Why does this running malarkey get to you so much!!?

It gets to you because you care and you want to run, 11 weeks ago I struggled to run for 1 minute, I'm now doing a park run every Saturday and 2 x 5k runs in the week. We all have a bad run now and again, you will soon be running easier. Keep posting as you progress. 😁
