Between 4 and 5 miles today, I wasn't keeping good track and I altered my loop. My mileage is way down this week. I tell myself it's because I'm busy, and that's partly true, but I could find the time. I always have in the past, and we're never as busy as we convince ourselves we are. I'm not able to run the race I was planning on in two weeks because of a family obligation, so I've lost some sense of urgency in training. I think I need a goal to keep me dedicated; otherwise I'm just going to run like I am now, 10-15 miles a week, to stay in shape for awhile. Honestly, that's all I'm interested in doing right now. So I'm going through a light period, and I'm sure I'll get focused again at some point. Other things are priority now. |
