Still running but the cold dark mornings are still failing to inspire me to get out and run as often as is in my program..................then my day starts and running at some point in the day is not an option........................and before I know it, the sun is dipping below the horizon and night falls. And then it is cold and dark (and usually windy) and I am not inspired to run....................ho hum!
Excuses?................................................ yeah I would agree that its all an excuse but being inside in a heated yoga room or in a gym doing weights seems preferable to fighting the elements outside. I am excited that the days are getting longer and once the days start to warm up I will be over the moon!
I am still moving my body on a daily basis and enjoying how I am moving it but what I am doing won't necessarily have me ready to run a half marathon in the Melbourne Marathon event in October...................so I have dropped back to running the 10kms...................will I miss running the marathon? Probably will miss the sense of achievement of completing the 42.2 kms and the training that has been put in to get me to the start line. But oh my, I will not miss the post marathon pain nor having my toenails fall off! (My feet are looking decidedly less gnarly only now, 5 months after running the marathon earlier this year)
I now need to re-set my goals for running the 10km event....................will get back to you on my goal once I have a look at the course :)
Back soon x
