Total Distance
11.80

7.8 mile run this morning up into GS the long way and home on the trail. I decided that mileage, pace and the like will all go on the back burner for a while until the body says it feels ready for more. I just struggled through this run. So if I get in 3 or 15 miles a day I really don't care for now. Whatever feels good. I'd really like to feel well rested and fully recovered before thinking about anything else. So unless something big happens soon I'm most likely crossing off any December or January marathons.

4 miles this afternoon. I really didn't want to run again today but I went into the store and got some new shoes and had to go try them out. I've been running on shoes that for the most part are wore out or don't feel that great- and right now as sore as I am I need something that feels nice and plush.

So I just went out and back a couple miles and the shoes felt good.

There's a nice monologue in "Return to Carthage" (the sequel to "Once a Runner") that there is a difference between running and training. Running is fun and unstructured. You run when you feel like it, and as fast as you want. Training is just the opposite of all that: structured, disciplined, and certainly not fun every day. Enjoy your running!

Paul I really like that comparison. I'll be running for a while.

It's hard to get inspired after the ST. George bad weather. I'm really struggling as well with training to get back and train. I've almost thought of canceling my December/January marathon and just take up eating instead. :-)

Nicely said Paul, right now I just want to run and have fun. No training for a while. I really think you need times like these to train hard. Just enjoy it while you can because you know that the bug will come back.

Have you looked at the mileage board lately? I would say there is a lot more running than training going on across the board. I think it's a good thing. Folks need to recharge.
