I haven't written in awhile, and it's because I am so sick of running. I'm stuck in a rut of feeling burned out, both mentally and physically. After my long run on Sunday, I started feeling a twinge on the side of my right knee. Not really too painful, but the muscle just felt sore. I'm not sure if something is wrong with my knee or not, but it felt okay when I ran today. I have been using my foam roller and taking lots of time to stretch, so hopefully it's fine by the time I do my long run on Saturday (20 miles, good lord).
Today when I was running 5 miles I completely burned out - just did NOT want to be running anymore - and walked home after only doing about 3 and a half. 13 weeks into my training program (with 6 weeks left to go) I am just low on motivation. I am tired of having to figure out when I'm going to go running each day. I'm tired of it being an obligation, rather than something I'm enjoying. I'm tired of missing my yoga class and pilates class. I'm just...tired.
Weekly Training Plan:
Monday: 5 miles
Tuesday: 8 miles
Wednesday: 5 miles (well, actually only 3.5)
Thursday: Spin
Friday: 5 miles
Saturday: 20 miles
Total mileage: 43 miles
