I'm trying to find some inspiration. My runs have been mostly blah. I'm going to finally try some speed work this week. I thought I would do some earlier. I had it on my schedule, but I just didn't feel like a month ago. Also, I miss running with people, but I don't have a desire to get up extra early or change my schedule around to be able to make group runs with my running club. I'm just in a rut and don't know how to get out of it.

Any AW's or brags? I'm drawing blanks.

- Nerves: I'm changing my running shoes, and I'm super nervous. My PT thinks my high drop is a big factor in my knee issues, so I'm switching to a much lower drop. I haven't worn anything other than Brooks in years!

Any AW's or brags?
- My swimming has been off the chain lately. I don't know what happened, but I'm hitting times I would have thought were impossible.

mrshandy I bought the 14’s and love them. I hated the 12’s and switched to the Catalysts, but after my calf issues over the Spring and Summer finally decided to try the Inspires again.

Fun relay weekend. Despite the shitty weather and hilly conditions I hit my goal pace on my legs.

[hannahb]

Either the full or the half in Kiawah.
I’m on a 2 week self/ back pain/URI imposed running break so no training (other than cross training this week). Will reassess then.

AW: nada.
Vent: more of a confession but I am 100% relieved I didn’t run this past weekend. I haven’t missed running at all

[cinco]

Hugs shauni27. I am sorry for all you are dealing with.

[hurricanedrunk]

I'm sorry you're struggling shauni27, thinking of you.

[Wines Not Whines]

mrshandy Have you tried taking some time off of “training” and just doing whatever you want to do for a while? You had a very heavy training cycle over the summer, and you may need a break. I know you can run a half marathon with no problem, so you could still take a relative break while still running your two fall races.

[G22]

shauni27, I'm so sorry your are struggling! So many hugs.

[Wines Not Whines]

I’m sorry you’re not feeling well, shauni27.

[Wines Not Whines]

T: 7 miles with speedwork
W: spin class and body pump
Th: 8 miles with hills
F: 5 miles easy
Sa: 14-16 miles
Su: rest, attend a wedding

Any issues/vents/complaints? Vent away!

I’m having a severe lack of confidence. I also can’t stop eating junk, mostly in the form of Halloween candy.

Any AW's or brags?

Nope.

[sadlebred]

shauni27 Hugs, my dear!!

I had a crazy weekend. This morning we let the dog out and somehow the gate was open and the dog ran away. Luckily, someone in the neighborhood found him and called us.

Any AW's or brags?

I had a good speed work out last week.

This is definitely the most reasonable action. I have taken somewhat of a break. Only running really 4-5 days a week. Most of them easyish runs for the most part. 

I waver between doing this and just KOKO. I know that my frustration really isn't really with running per se. But with a very boring work environment lately. It's been that way for a while and I was distracting my boredom with training over the summer. Now that is done, I'm just stuck at a job that isn't satisfying. I hope that will change eventually, but until then it's kind of spilling over into my non work life. Plus I feel stuck at my job because I'm paid well and I work from home 3 days a week (which is amazing).

Who was it who told me I should re-evaluate my 12 lb weight loss during marathon training?
You were right.
I gained a bunch this summer and haven’t been able to shed ANY during marathon training.
We leave for Punta Cana just after thanksgiving and I wish I wasn’t at this weight.



Any AW's or brags?
I’m gonna do this!
