While I did make it outside for four runs last week, they were all short (3-5 milers). Javier’s parents left Saturday. Javier was in Seattle and Portland Monday through Wednesday. My sister has been in town since Thursday though she left this afternoon. And until today, I was hugely stressed about finding a new job. My motivation has been totally drained out of me with visitors in town and the job search. I also am having difficulty with the distance running in general. I’m just not sure my mind and heart are in it. I love getting outside for 45 minutes or so of exercise but after that I just seem to hit a wall. I am certain that a significant amount of this is a result of all of the distractions over the last three weeks but it is a bit disheartening. I’m hoping that I can get back on the wagon this week. After all, Anne will be here this weekend to run a long run with me. Wish me luck!
2010 Training
bc i need to talk about everything, i'm using this space to talk about my workouts and general training experience as i train for three endurance events that are completely new to me in 2010. perhaps if i record my goings on here, my friends will not have to put up with my boring ramblings. i decided to start tracking my training for the national half and eventually for the other two endurance races i'm taking on (gulp) this year.
i also would love for roosk and anyone else who is training for the national half (or anything!) to join in. I think its great motivation to share stories and accomplishments. i know i have been inspired on more than one occasion by 'listening in' on similar discussions. so, if you'd like to join me, send a note to anne dot paterson at gmail dot com or just use the 'submit' link below.
if i'm all alone, it will still serve its purpose to protect the ears of those who love me:)
