GRRRRRR

I am frustrated beyond measure! So freaking pissed! And yeah, I said pissed so you know it's gotta be bad!

I have hit a serious platqeau.  I've been running every other day, without fail - keeping myself on track no matter what.  I was trying to gradually increase my speed and distance.  The other day I broke the 1.5 mile mark and did almost 2 miles.  So theoretically, I should have been able to make it to 2 miles the next run. Nope.  I just couldn't do it.  Even when I slowed my pace just a bit. 

And tonight, oh, don't get me started about tonight.  It was pathetic. And ugly. And frustrating. I couldn't get my pace or the distance.  Seriously, I got so frustrated that when I had to decrease the speed, I would catch my breath and then increase my speed. Like a great big, giant, f you to my body for not cooperating.  Like I was going to force my body into submission. 

If that's all it took I wouldn't have a problem.

I seriously felt like I had lead weights on - I was just so heavy and weak.  And it totally, totally sucks. I feel like with the last two runs I have regressed.  How? How is that possible?

What am I doing wrong?  I seriously need to get this figured out and corrected because this is so not gonna work...
