Last night I went for a run. It was only
my 3rd or 4th since the 24 hr race. I have not been able
to get back into my groove. I just changed some things around… I am no longer
running the Hartford Marathon. After sleeping for the last month, I thought it
would be best to train more than 2 months for a full marathon. After googling
for an hour or two then getting a discount code from Holly, my mind was made
up! I am registered for the Atlantic City Half marathon October 21! Yay!! A
local race and on the boardwalk (for some)!! Now that I have a race, maybe I
will be more inclined to lace up and get out there. Tonight I am going to run a
couple miles after work. Last night I did about 3.5 miles and was pretty tired.
I feel like my body is starting from scratch, but that is okay. I have 66 days
to get ready! I am hoping that the weather will break soon and all the humidity
will be gone. Make way for Autumn! My favorite season (I hope you like the
scenic change on my background).
This is primarily a running blog but
sometimes other things come into play. I had posted previously about the post
marathon blues. I am not exactly sure of my pattern of emotions after the races
but I definitely experience some dips into depression. Lately I have been
extremely tired and sleeping at every opportunity (which I could be running). I
want to come out of this funk. And so I am writing online (where all things
remain forever) so I can use this as an affirmation. I find that when I text someone
or post on Facebook that I am going for a run, I have a smaller chance of
laying down and taking a nap. So today I am writing, in hopes to run and not
nap after work. Today is day 2 of Half Marathon training…Galloway style (which
I am going to make up but walk/run… so we shall call it Galloway).
