Man that was a blow. I headed out the door dark, cold, snowy and was still half asleep and running something like an 8 min mile to warm up or slower. And some dude comes silently up around the half mile mark and slowly passes by.
This was a major blow to my confidence. Is it time to hang it up? I'm in my early 40s so is this the decline? I'm just building up base mileage after drinking for a month and eating tons of bad off season food but I don't know if I can handle that. This has never happened before (outside of someone obviously doing a workout).
Should I hang it up and join the easy life? Going out in the dark is already getting too old.
