Legs felt really tired after last night's run.  I'm not used to running at night and don't think that I refueled properly after the run.  Pace felt a lot faster than it actually was.  I'm really starting to question my running ability.  It just doesn't feel natural anymore.

Andy, I have found that running is alot like golf, some days are good and then some days you just can't put it all together. When I was competing in golf I could shoot a 68 one day and not miss a shot and then come back the next day and I can't do anything and felt like I was swinging the same as the day before, and usually the score was 75 or 76 or higher. It took me along time to figure out that even a bad day golfing was still better than a day not golfing at all, and once I was able to get that through my head I was alot more relaxed out there and then I seemed to get more consistant...

So try on each run each day to be relaxed, and focus on the fact that a bad day running is better than a good day and not running at all, I promise this will help you relax and that is when your form will get more consistant and then running will become more effortless... They say golf is 90% mental and 10% physical and I truely believe that running is the same, so keep up the good work, and good luck.
