De-Motivated
I am kind of not terribly motivated today. I don't know if it's the weather (sunny but still cold), fatigue in my legs (I've run 50 mpw or slightly over) for the last four weeks, general fatigue, or what. Maybe I am just lazy!
In any case it's 4:00 and I haven't run yet, as planned. I decided to sleep in and also decided that I shouldn't run any doubles this week. I have been feeling fine but my feet are kind of tired and a cutback week is usually a good thing every now and again. However I would like to do a decent long run up in Fort Collins on Sunday. Maybe like 13-14 miles, along the course for the half marathon I have planned on May 8. This course is supposedly a gently downhill almost the whole way so I think I could get a half marathon race PR. The fastest half I've ever run in a race was the first half of my marathon which was like a 1:47 or something so I know I can beat that by quite a bit. I really think I should be able to run a 1:40 or so.
So after work I am heading to the gym from which I would like to go for a 7 mile run in the rich peoples' neighborhood, then possibly lift a weight or two if I am not still too sore, and afterwards I think a trip to the steam room is in order. If I'm feeling especially motivated I'll hop on the bike for a bit. I always read about how much cross training everyone else does and it is making me feel somewhat like a slacker. Today is about the only day for the rest of the week where I'll be able to cross train (unless I ski Saturday), so I really should do something. Blah, I am sick of winter.
