I've been having a real hard time getting going lately. It takes about 3 miles before I feel good during a run. At that point, I can start to pick up the pace but still don't feel great. I'm sure that this is all mental. I have a lot of negative thoughts running through my mind. I only think about how bad my form is, how unnatural my running feels. My legs don't feel like they push off or land correctly. My shoulders feel tight. I need to start focusing on the positive and just let my running be more natural. Ran the first 3 miles at a comfortable pace (7:40/mile) then picked it up to 7:05-7:10. Felt good at some points and not so good at others. Ran the last 1/4 mile hard just to try and break out of this funk. Total Time: 51:46 (7:24/mile) Avg HR: 156
