Blech, I'm in a serious funk.  Completely unmotivated to run and about pretty much everything. It doesn't help I have some sinus thing on top of it.  Last week was basically a throw away week missing 2-3 runs and this week isn't looking much better. Had a race scheduled on the 9th and couldn't get the motivation to go and didn't, and then felt like poo for missing it afterwards.

Missing runs psychs me out, makes me panic about miles, and makes me question my ability to hit my goal in April which makes me more in a funk.  It's a self-perpetuating cycle.  Hopefully I'll snap out of it soon
