Writer's Block?
Or just feeling completely apathetic? I’m going to go with apathy, because I have a million ideas churning in my mind to write about, but just haven’t felt like writing them down.
Monday was a pretty nice day – Jerel and I went up to the Boston Common and I did 3 miles of hills and 2 miles just running around the Public Garden.
Saw Tara Tuesday morning and had a good workout with her – still feeling it today! Of course, getting back to work on Tuesday was the nightmare I had predicted it would be. Nothing happens in August here, so September gets super busy. All I did on Tuesday was research and book travel – NY, London, Tokyo…good times!
Yesterday morning I got up early and ran a little over 3 miles. I wasn’t really feeling like being out there, plus I was sore from my training on Tuesday. Probably one of the first times I’ve had a crappy run. It was bound to happen!
I need to go to the gym and do my strength training tonight, and then some other cross-training tomorrow. Saturday is a 17-miler. Julie and I are going to meet early and do the first part of the route together, and then finish up with everyone else. I think we’re also having our “Race Prep Clinic” so that should be interesting. I can’t believe the race is only 6 weeks away!
I tried my new shoes out during my last 2 runs. I definitely needed them – I could feel the support they were giving my knees, but I’m not sure if I really like them yet. I’m sure I’ll know after Saturday’s run. I also picked up my very own foam roller. Tigger thinks it’s something for him to play with.
I’ve also really trying to watch what I eat this week. I have a feeling the lack of fruits and veggies has been causing my energy to plummet. Of course, I’m still not losing any weight – I hope to rectify that after the marathon. I called JC today to renew my Rewards membership. I am planning to go back so I can try and get rid of this last 40 lbs. She tried to talk me into coming back now, but I need to focus on my training – although it is tempting!
Hope everyone is having a great week!
