| Can't wait to run across this bridge... |
I brought this up to a coworker a few days ago (he's an avid runner during the summer) and asked him how to deal. He brought up a very interesting question: Am I burnt out from running or burnt out from the stress of trying to find the time to run and still have a life? Yeah...I'm gonna go with the second one. I LOVE the feeling of completing a run (notice how I didn't say I loved the feeling of running? Not quite there yet...), but I don't like feeling like all I do in my day is wake up, work, come home, run, go to sleep. It brings me back to the talk of balance. I have none. I can't wait until there is more sunlight in the day. I think it will help!
That being said, I am SO GLAD that I signed up for this race. It has kept my mind focused on losing weight and trying to stay active. Without it I'm afraid I would've permanently fallen off the wagon. I can't wait to report back on how it went!
Can you get squeeze a run in during the morning? Even if you break up your miles for the day? If I get a run in even a short one in the morning, I feel less stressed over the "when am I gonna run?" after work, homework, kids....
ReplyDeleteGood Luck finding that balance. Let me know where it is so I can look for it too!
Can't wait to har all about it. Happy training and great race to you Becky!!

If you miss a couple of runs for sanity's sake, it will all be ok. It's about running across that bridge you've been dreaming about, looking at a beautiful blue sky. It's not about time and speed.
