Today was my first run since Friday. I ran without a watch because halfway through my warmup I realized I didn't have it on and wasn't about to turn around to go get it. Running has been a struggle for me lately. I have been really tired and feeling weak. I'm not too sure if it is because of the running schedule or because I have been so busy with work and everything else. Probably a combination. Plus the weather here is still humid and gross. I usually don't pray for cooler temperatures as I love the summer and want it to extend as long as possible but not this year. I need some 60's!!!
Headed off on another business trip today to lovely Pembroke Pines, FL. Looking forward to the time in my career when I won't have to live out of a suitcase because I am traveling every week.

(((HUGS))) We all have down times and yes a lot of the "other" things in life can contribute to overall feeling of yuck towards running. You'll be back to your normal self in no time :-) Hang in there chica!!
I certainly know the ups and downs of running... I can't even imagine trying to travel for work and maintain some sort of training schedule. There is also the probably futile attempt at trying to eat healthy. I feel for you.. but you have put in some great training and sometimes you just have to know that what you have been doing will work.
Traveling can certainly wear you down...make sure you are getting enough sleep and eating well so that your body is ready for these runs. It took a lot of really sluggish runs for me to finally get that!
Hang in there, remember why you love it. Can you enjoy some fun runs in new places? I know how much of a grind it can be when you travel, sometimes exploring sans watch is just what I need.
We're here for ya.
Don't let some bad runs get you down. You're getting close to your goal, so just know that you'll do it and think positive thoughts. We're here for you!
