Really proud and really depressed about my mornings run.  On the one side I am proud that I got up at 6:30 am, in 19 degree weather, and managed to run 5K.  On the other, I am depressed that I am getting SLOWER.  I concede that I am a novice runner, but why isn't my body acclimating?  Am I overdoing it?  Should I be adding a longer run to build up?  Is it diet? Or should I just keep at it until mine own body figures it out.

Also, to stretch or not to stretch?  Before or after?  The only time I stretched before a run I couldnt run a mile.  Lots of questions here.,.

These are things I will have to stew on.

I am a wee bit bummed, but I will keep at it.

Doh.
