I am STUCK in a RUT!

I am just wading through quicksand. Well, that is when I don't feel like taking a nap. What am I going to do? I'm frustrated and disappointed and honestly I don't think I'm improving! UGH!

OK so here is the plan. I ran this morning. It was only a mile but at least I did something. PS the creeper from my building was on the front steps with a red cup and a pint of Beam! A half empty one! It was 9:30 am! Anyways I didn't want to pass him three times. See that's one of the problems I don't want people to watch me. That's why I didn't run Friday because the park was busting with people. It was so nice and cool out. Friday night it was only 68 degrees.

Back to the plan...I am going to buy a book. I have been looking around and there is one written by a woman who didn't run and then did a marathon. Its a training manual, which I think I need. I don't think I'm improving. Am I starting with my goals too high? Should I focus on just a mile? Still try for a 5k by my birthday? I need a little more structure because I am flailing around here.

Apparently, there is a whole running section at Barnes and Noble? Going there today.
