5k
Yesterday, after a summer full of training, I completed my first ever 5k. My training was a long road, with a couple of bumps. At one point, I thought the training was exacerbating my migraines, so I stopped training. Then, I realized that tons of people had migraines the week I was struggling, so I think it was more about the weather/barometric pressure than it was the running. So I got back on board. With my sister's wedding and back to work, I found myself exhausted and only got to train 1-2 times a week (on a good week) in the 3 weeks leading up to the 5k. Once upon a time, I tried to get into running, but it never "stuck." This time, I got into it in desperation to lose weight. The frustrations I've experienced over the last 1-2 years on and off with counting calories, working out, and trying everything I know how to do (short of starving myself) have been exhausting. I've watched those around me do just what I am doing and lose lot...
