The slow increases are so hard. I've had to stop looking at my training log from last year--it's too demoralizing.
So I keep repeating two mantras:

I was just looking at my training log from last year the other day. I was 35 pounds heavier than I am now (still losing baby weight from #3, yeah, there was a lot of it) and I was running sooooo slowly. It made me smile to think about how much has changed--yet again--in the last year. I remember writing in that log last year at this time and feeling so, so depressed about where I was. I hated my body, hated how slow I was, hated how weak I was. Ooooh, it was bad. I had to keep reminding myself that I had been fit, and could get back to that.
I know the slow increases are hard, especially when you're dealing with injuries, but you will get there. You will :) Hugs.
