Today was a black hole day.
Day light savings time, and being worn out from our mini vacation, i had absolutely no motivation nor desire to run today. Even considered dropping out of the running world all together. I know i gained weight from vacation food, and snacks.
But i took my own advice i gave someone else: Just put in the miles so that when you do 'feel it' again, you will still have the miles under your belt.
But i couldn't get enough motivation to run in the gusty wind, so i hit the treadmill.
4.5 miles in 50:33 - No walking breaks.
So, on paper, it looks fine, just hoping to get over this black funk soon.
This blog is a journal about my journey from being an overweight 54 year old recreational runner through training and Finishing my first marathon in October 2012!
