He's the guy that awaits you round the corner, and hits you right between the eyes. He makes you feel like you wanna stop running, like you're too tired, like you can't go on for one more minute. He's the guy that makes you walk into the wall.
I've been having a lot of trouble with The Guy with the Hammer lately. My runs have been struggles. So I told him: 'You can't make me stop running. However, I am willing to go more slowly. I'll still go the distance, but I'll wálk parts of it.'
He couldn't do anything about that, so for the last few weeks I've been running, and walking.
Slowly but surely, I felt him losing interest, and today for the first time in weeks I managed to run all the way. Without walking at all.
I'm so happy I didn't give up! And next time I'll see that awful Guy with the Hammer, I'll knock hÃm down first!

Hi, this is the first time I've commented here I think. I started running more than 1 year ago, and just started experiencing the same thing you describe - feeling like I can't do the same run I've been doing for months with no problem! The solution for me too has been to walk a bit then run again... It is good to hear this will pass in time!

Hi! I'm stopping by from the Blog Hop. I just started running in June after they Hubby and I decided it would be best to get in shape BEFORE we try for baby #2...so, I signed up for the Disney Half Marathon in January. Super excited...and interested to hear about any lessons you have for a new runner!!
