AM: 6 miles easy.

I have been thinking about whether or not to continue my training as scheduled for running a half marathon, or whether to scale back.

Right now I am at the best condition I have ever been in, I don't want to lose that fitness, but I am wondering if it is good to keep doing the high mileage I have been doing for a prolonged period of time, or if I should scale back a little.

I don't understand why they cancelled the half marathon I was training for.

COVID-19 is almost gone here in Japan, and unless there is a very severe 2nd wave, I don't even know if it will even be around in November at all.

I am very disappointed.

AM: Had a real hard getting out of bed this morning. Since my race was cancelled, my motivation level is about "zero". I need to find a race or something so that I have a goal to be working toward.

Once I got out and started running I ran a really good workout.

Short warm up run. Then ran 10 x 1000m fast (I ran these really hard, I was working out my frustration on these. I felt a lot of anger while running these, but it helped me run them extra hard.) Finished with a jog to get my 10 miles.

PM: Ran 8 miles easy. I am increasing the mileage a little this week.

AM: Easy 10 miles.

PM: 6 miles at a good pace.

AM: 10 easy miles. I had another workout planned for this morning, but I haven't recovered completely from Monday's workout. I will try to do the workout that I was going to do today, tomorrow.

PM: 8 miles easy.

AM: Warm up run. 3 x 3000m hard. Cool down run to reach 10 miles.

PM: 6 miles easy.

AM: 10 very easy miles. Tired from yesterday.
