Miserable run....feel bad for me

[Stheneboea]

Floridian living and running in Boston looking for sympathy...
I HATE running outside when it's less than 50 degrees. It makes me wheezy and my chest hurts. I was pressured into signing up for a 5k for this weekend with a bunch of friends, my brother and my trainer. It's 30 degrees here with a windchill making it feel like 17 and the run was along the very breezy waterfront. Guess what....none of the group that was supposed to run with me showed up. I ran alone and ran my worst 5k time ever...
Misery. Thanks for letting me rant.

I'm sorry. I live in the Boston area and am headed out for a run right now. This is going to be miserable I think.

Out of our comfort zones runs totally suck. Put me on a hill and I'm ready to quit halfway up.

I'm sorry you had a miserable run.   If misery really does love company, I did too and I'm right there with you! I just ran the worst 10er and I don't know why.

Bummer; I can't believe all your friends bailed! At least you toughed it out & finished.

On a side note, I think the more you run in cooler weather, the more your lungs will acclimate. Plus, summer is (hopefully) just around the corner.
