Having lost interest in short races, and unable to run the longer ones, there is no need to keep a detailed record of each daily run. For the next few months I will run casually when I can, and work on recovering when I can't.

Keeping a running journal has been satisfying and a motivator. I now move onto other things.....

Hey Will what's up? :-\ Why so easily discouraged man? I feel your pain. I have been dealing with injuries since Jan 1st of last year. Keep the faith. Things will get better! Most importantly, enjoy each and every run!!!

Hey Benn, hope things are well with you.

I'm not so much discouraged, as just unable to run. I was happy to finish the Devil's Lake 50k a couple of weeks ago, and even though it set my training back a bit, it was a meaningful race for me.

I am registered for the Howl at the Moon 8 hour run on August 8th, which I was not going to participate in because of my injury, but this week my knee has stopped hurting, so my training is moving forward. I am now planning to start the Howl race, and will see how it goes. I may not make the full 8 hours because of the knee, but at least I can show up and attempt the race.

I am taking a break from fitness blogging for now, mostly because my training is too sporadic due to the knee.

Good luck with running and everything else!
