Day 245 - "long" run

Alcohol Units: none
Running Units: 3 miles
Other exercise Units: none
Stretching Units: yup

thought for sure i'd done at least 4 today but i was wrong. very wrong. only did 3 and they were a pathetic 3.

sigh.

how do you know your distance? i feel like you need a running intervention. i need or needed one too. scratch that i need one. i lost my passion for running. mostly b/c i'm not angry and hurting like i was last year and could focus my energy on that as an outlet... but i want to re-find that passion b/c i do love the races - i just don't love the training on my own. but, i am going to turn that around and make a schedule for myself. could be also i have no work routine which i think makes everything harder ... as in, oh i have plenty of time and then i waste too much time. anyways, all my rambling leads to this: i know there are times when you can't feasibly go for a run b/c work hours prevent it, but i think it will be an awesome release for all the stresses you are feeling. focus on those stresses leaving with each footstep you take. sounds super corny i know, but i find it really helps. or use it as time to think about things you want to do or dream about doing - that helps pass the miles/time too. don't forget the mental part of running and tell yourself that you CAN do it!

i love your advice. i'll work on that.

ever thought about putting together a schedule for yourself each day? you don't have work to structure your day around but you can set up what you have to do each day and allocate specific hours that you have to train. helpful?
