So.....this is really weird to write this. I have been thinking a lot the past few days. I am generally just burned out with running. I feel like crap most days. I go in and out of motivation. I feel really tired. I feel more physical and mental stress, the more I try to increase mileage. I must be getting old :)

To get right down to it, I've realized that for now, I have had enough. Enough of the daily grind of running and training. It isn't feeling fun anymore. So I am taking a break. Who knows for how long. I will do other forms of exercise. But I won't be running daily anymore for now. I need a reset.  Probably won't jump on the blog very often.. It's just that I need a break from it on all fronts.

Loves & fist bumps to all.

I hear ya Lily. I keep saying this is my last year to be serious and then I'm DONE too. I go through lots of emotions w running and as much as I love it I do admit its alot of extra stress. I just want to get it back to the love of it again and not feel like I HAVE to do it. I have the BEST running buddies that are the only things keeping me going rt now. I wish you the best of luck. Pop in to say hi from time to time k :)
