This morning I started running way later than normal on purpose so that I wouldn't run that much on my foot that hurt a little bit after yesterday's run. I had to be at work at a certain time today so I knew if I started later running I wouldn't over-do it on my foot. I was going to take the day-off, but I felt guility if I would have. Ribs are still real sore and wasn't really able to sleep last night at all. They hurt when I would roll over, or just laying there. My friend at work who used to be a nurse thinks I cracked a rib.

I didn't check the temperature today but it really wasn't that cold. I ran 8.5 miles at an overall 6:59 pace in 59:20 minutes. I did the last few miles splits faster to end the run (t:46, 6:51, 6:46, 6:38,6:40). Just another run, which really wasn't exciting.

Rather than just enjoying running right now it's becoming almost depressing at times, because I feel like I have to run no matter what, and it's starting to affect my life. I need to somehow find a balance or I'm going to be unstable and I don't want that. I feel I need to stay fit no matter what, and no matter what it costs. Just keep me in your prayer's. I wish I would take my own advice that I give others.

Work and family is going great and that makes me happy, it's just my mindset is on running a lot more than I want it to be.

Kory, sounds like you are in classic burnout mode. Time to just step back from running for a few days/weeks to get the motivation back to enjoy running. You can do other things to stay in shape, but if running is affecting you this way it is time to take a break.

Jeff - so if you've ever felt like this what other things have you tried to replace the fitness for running. I think my mind is messed up to where I need to run to stay fit and that's all that matters. I thinks sometimes success can become an addiction.

If you have access to a gym, try the eliptical or the stationary bike. Try a spinning class or even keep up the swimming that started with your Tri. And/or even just let yourself relax for a week to get the desire back to exercise. You are fit enough that a week off would not hurt your fitness.

Kory I have an idea, a bit drastic, but maybe necessary for the days that you want to take off. I just thought of this because I noticed that you said that you had wanted to take today off yesterday, but then I saw you logged over 8 miles haha.

Have your wife hide your running shoes (yes, ALL OF THEM).. now you see why I think this might be a feat in itself! looking at your shoe tracker haha... and not tell you where she puts them, that way you HAVE to take the day off :)

Kory,

I agree with Jeff. Try something different for a week. Let yourself do it- even if you gain 2-3 pounds. When you return to your schedule, you'll be refreshed and the weight will peel back off. Also, let yourself heal! I'm in pain just reading about your ribs. :) Thoughts and prayers are with you.
