It was below 0 wind chill this morning so I ran on the TM.  I wanted to run a longer run today.  I had planned 15 miles but felt run down today so just cut it short at 12.  I felt really flat and tired.  I did push the last three miles to MP just to fell like I got in a better workout.  This was a pretty horrible week so I need to get back on a better schedule next week.  I am starting to get concerned about Boston and how I will be able to do.  I think the next couple of weeks are crucial for me to get some good training in so that I will have something to build on.  Maybe if I get caught up on sleep and I don't have to travel next week so that might help.

Good job getting in a longer TM run. Winter training is tough with the variability of the weather. You have a solid base and have time to get ready for Boston, don't worry. Keep it up, get some good sleep and hit it next week (don't look back, look forward).

Have a great week!

Thanks for the feedback. I got some rest over the weekend and feel much better. I just need to get my head into this training and be consistent. Hopefully this week I can turn the corner.
