| | In order to try to kick the bad feelings away about yesterday run, I went running at higher altitude to have some cooler temperatures on some of the hills around Pescara. The temperatures were already 10° lower but my mood didn't change much. I went 4 miles uphill and then came down, but I was tired and demotivated. No energy in my legs and in my brain, I wanted just to be over with the run, have lunch and take a nap. I really need some rest to regroup. Tomorrow I will take a day off from running.

| | My legs are not so bad today, but I will take a day off, the rest of the week I will maintain my mileage around 40, but no speed until next saturday. | | Add Comment |
| | This will be the mileage I will be running everyday for the rest of the week, I am trying to recover my energies while moving my legs on some minimal, non-stressfull miles. I hope it will work because after 6.2 miles in 58 minutes, my legs are still heavy and my desire to run is close to zero.

| | Running these days is really hard, my legs are constantly tired but tonight I concluded that it is just a mental problem. My brain is trying to convince me that I am tired and I have to rest, it is just a life saving mechanism. Even if I would like to push the pace, my brain is telling me to slow down because is concerned about the upcoming marathon. I will go through the next 10 days with whatever pace feels good there is not much I can do about this, and I would rather getting at the starting line well rested and "hungry" for some good old fast miles than tired and demotivated. 5 miles in 48 minutes. | | Add Comment |
| | I got home at 6pm tonight and I went running around the lake taking advantage of the last hour of light, it was really refreshing compared to the 1k loop in the industrial area. Legs are still tired. | | Add Comment |
| | Finally a cold wind kick the summer out, at least for the weekend. I waited until 9am before going out running, last time I started so late on saturday morning was probable back in may. Another slow 10k, enjoyed the sun and the crisp air, I am so tired of this out of season heat.
