Well, it's been a week since I last ran. I have to admit that my race really killed me mentally, but work and family life has also played a factor in my lack of desire to run. Morning running fell apart two days after it began, first because of rain and then because Chuck is stressed, and it for some reason it makes him feel better when he leaves for work at 5.

I was actually looking forward to this run all day. So that's good. I ran out to the farm. Pace was slow and easy. I didn't even crack into the 8s until partway into the third mile. It was windy and warm, maybe 70s. Next week should be easier for running since school is out. I still have to work, but hours are drastically reduced.

Pretty good for not running for a week.

This sounds like me last summer - life gets in the way sometimes, for sure. Once you can get a good new routine going, you'll be back.
