see that little guy to the left there and the words underneath him? it feels like that little guy has been sitting in my head saying that to me for the past few weeks.

eb asked why i suck. i have made running into something ugly, and for that, i suck. i have lost sight of everything i love about running - being out on the road, smiling and waving at other runners and bikers, clearing my head and working out stress. instead, i've turned it into the most stressful part of my day. and that stops now.

tomorrow: rest day
