These past two weeks have no been the best in terms of my training. I've had a hard time finding motivation, which I posted about already and it continued into this week. This week I also had some GI distress 1.5 miles into a run which had me quickly coming back home and only getting in three. The unease carried through to the next day which, I think, was maybe sort of a food poisoning but not entirely if that makes sense. I then got back into a small swing with 4 miles and Friday was going to be a tempo (7 miles) but... nope.
I did get in four and planned for the 7 miles today. I woke up after a good sleep, got ready and just... didn't go. I had no desire to try to run, no drive, and I think there's a part of me that is tried of pushing through.
I have to push through at my job for obvious reasons and, may times, that carries over into running, but not right now. I also know that I have time (although I won't forever) to get into the training so I think I just allow myself to give in to my lack of motivation.
I did get out and do 4 today with a friend which was nice. I ate too close to it for it to be entirely enjoyable, but there were some miles on the legs at least. I'm going to keep giving myself some grace here because, big picture, I don't want to burn myself out and I'd rather have this season be less than ideal to aim for something better in the spring.
*I'm the problem, it's me.
