Notes: Ran a little better than yesterday (9:23 average pace compared to 10:12); still experienced low energy; I feel a little bit like I have a bug or something; today was supposed to be a rest day, but I had to make up for Tuesday and Wednesday.

Half Marathon Training – Snails Run Faster

Today’s Goal: 4 miles
Actual Distance: 5.45 miles
Time: 55:38
Weather: Sunny; Low Humidity; 77 degrees
Time of Day: 12:10 PM
Notes: Sluggish; Energy very low; Not much motivation; A sub-par run; And doesn’t it suck when you are struggling at 4 miles and feel like quitting and a car passes you with a “26.2” sticker on it? Ugh.


Tomorrow’s Goal: REST DAY (But I’ll probably run to make up for missing two days.)

Half Marathon Training – Uh oh…

Uh oh… I lost my mojo.

I didn’t run on Tuesday or Wednesday.

Tuesday is almost excusable because it was such a busy day.

Wednesday is not excusable. Just lost my motivation.

It’s lunchtime now. Work is fairly quiet. I think I better get away while the getting is good and get some miles in!
