I'm up hoping to get 10 in but it's raining bad in spots :-(
I'm so sad about the end of my 2000 miles. I'm finishing so poorly. I wanted to finish strong but I'm barely getting my miles done. I miss my 48-50 mile weeks :-( what happened? I feel like I can't even get 6-8 miles done strongly. I feel so down about it all. I feel like I won't get back to where I was. I loved those miles and high weeks

Hang in there! You're almost done!
Thanks. I'm just so sad how poorly I'm running and worried I won't get back again.

What your doing is pretty impressive though! Don't discount that!

You are getting it done, and that's what counts. Sounds like these last miles are the "wall"- and even if you take them slower than other miles you're still kicking ass. Hang in there!
I'm up getting ready to meet my friend for 12. Fleet Feet's anniversary run- store to store with an after party. It'll be nice to do my Sunday run with a group (and to have cake at the end).
Up....have some work to do (blah) then going to hop on the trainer to get some mileage in on my bike. We have about 3 inches of icy snow on the ground here in Chicago! No running outside for me today.
I am up, but staying snuggled in bed. DH and I drove 3 hours down to my ILs house late last night and they are dog sitting the pup for us when we go to India. It's pouring outside, and all three of us (me, DH, and the pup) are all snuggled in bed lol). Enjoy your workouts ladies!
venice2007 - I am amazed you've almost made it. I think your body is probably crying out for a break, but like @vtcupcake days you are pushing and struggling for that finish. That's real and there is nothing wrong with that. You'll get your 2000 and hopefully with a little rehab be stronger than ever.

DD slept until 7:15 !!!!!! Praise the Lord!! She slept 12 hours! YES!! She was so cranky yesterday, hopefully todayis better - although I'm taking her to (step)MILs later..
I'm hoping to run 6 after I drop her off - I can't go until DH gets home from work with the truck. Fingers crossed the rain holds out.

I went out early to do my Thanksgiving grocery shopping before the madness descended on the stores. Sunday is usually my rest day, but I'm about to head out for a short run (maybe 5 miles) because it sounds a lot better than getting up early tomorrow morning to run when it's dark and 28 degrees. (It's in the 40s now). Ugh, winter is rough. I'm not looking forward to it.
Today should be a fun day. I'm going out with friends to see the Hunger Games movie, and then my running group has its end-of-season dinner.
venice2007 - It sounds like you're getting burned out, which is normal after a lot of high mileage. Hang in there for a couple more weeks, and then take some well-deserved rest and recovery!
Got a quick three miles in before heading home from Florida. I am looking forward to running in the cold again. It is amazing how much 70 and humid sucks when you've been running in the 40s for a month.

You're so close venice2007. You've done an amazing job, hang in there!
I got 9 hours of uninterrupted sleep last night. I feel great, so there's no reason I should skip my workout. But the kids are being really cute and cuddly this morning, so we're hanging out on the couch watching Elf instead. Maybe a run on the treadmill later today? We'll see.
The kids had us up early but then I made the mistake of laying down to snuggle with sizzli and nurse and he fell asleep. And then mh laid down again too and also fell asleep.
So now the boys are zonked in our bed and I'm watching little Einstein with shorti trying to motivate myself to get out the door for 5.

Fuck my DH's job. I hate it so hard. He's stuck at work because someone didn't show up. he has the truck. the running stroller is the back of the fucking truck.
the grass is not always greener, and I feel like we are being punished every single day for him accepting this stupid fucking job.
i'm mad. can you tell? i can't rant on fb like I would like to, and i can't call my mom & say fuck Dh's job. She would stroke out.
I'm running a prediction 5k with a friend. The 3 people who predict best win a turkey. I predict being slow. I'm mostly going for the donuts. I'll come home and do some yoga.
I'm up and headed out to swim clinic for a few hours. Then I shall nap. Hang in there venice2007, your body is just tired and the fact that it's tired means your goal was just about right. If you had flown through the very last mile, well that would have been a signal that you should have gone for more!
I've been up for a few hours. Went out for a rainy 6 miles. We're supposed to be going for breakfast, but DH's brother is still sleeping. We're getting ready to wake him up, because OMG, I'm ready to gnaw my arm off. It's 10:30, Ffs! Youths, man.
Bailed on a race cause it was 13 degrees at the start. It snowed and rained for the past two days and I'm guessing the roads are totally slick with ice (wouldn't know for sure cause I'm too lazy to go out there). Waiting for my friends to finish to see if they'll call my lazy ass for brunch or not. I'm not even sorry I bailed on the race.
