Of Mice and Marathons

PM: 10 miles on the treadmill 

60' minutes progression then 15' jog. Planned on ramping it up but didn't have it so I jogged the rest. Still sick. Frustrated with inconsistent training, but happy to be able to run.

We picked my parents up at the airport.

Off. 

Hung out with my parents who are in town for my birthday. Megan had a lot to do so I figured I'd stay in and take the day off.

AM/PM: 4 miles on the treadmill.

Started a workout but wasn't feeling it. Turned 32 today. Very life weary. I crossed my tolerance level and dad is driving me crazy.

PM: 4 miles progressive on the treadmill

Wasn't feeling it and the new Kinvara 7s I got were slapping the treadmill. Wasn't sure if it was me or the shoes. I worked early while my parents were at our place and Megan was at work. Feeling like a funk is settling in. Frustrated. I feel like training but I can't get the time or the rhythm. I haven't enjoyed the last two runs and if I can enjoy running I don't need to train.

Day off.

Several days of compounded hangovers. Took my parents to the airport. Took two naps for a combined total of 3 hours and 30 minutes. Most of that was from getting little sleep the last two nights and the rest was not wanting to deal with anything. Hopefully get back on track tomorrow.

Off.

This week = yikes!

Tutoring hours are picking back up starting tomorrow. Will this also be the semester I actually defend my dissertation? I was only suppose to graduate 3 years ago.

Training is probably off for spring. I'll get back to it some day. I actually enjoyed fall running when I could get in 90 minutes of moderate running most days and a workout most weeks. I wanted to race and train, but I couldn't make it happen. I got relatively fit for what I was doing. I'll get back to training seriously some day. I just don't want to miss too much of my thirties.

Off. Spent most of the day in bed before working late.

Need to get running and emerge from this depression.
