Creeping back to normalcy
Friday, March 23rd, 2007I have suffered a serious lack of energy and motivation since basically mid-November. I simply haven’t felt like running, and when I’ve gone I’ve been really tired.
I won’t say I’m back to normal, but I think the worst has passed. I’ve managed to do the longer runs for my June marathon training, and I’ve been getting out the door more. February was dismal; most *weeks* I have run more than I did that whole month. March is better. First, it’s not so cold. I hate cold about as much as I hate hills. It makes it hurt to breathe and everything is uncomfortable. Cold is evil. Today it’s 70, and we’re pretty much back into warm times here in DC. That alone will make me more motivated to get out the door.
In any case, I’ve got to keep going. April is the hard month for marathon training, and I can’t skip the long runs scheduled then if I plan to finish in one piece in June.
