LA Marathon training program: Week 11

Friday January 26th, 2007


EZ Run: 5mi @ 8:55 (Planned: 7mi @ 8:55)
 
Weight: 188 Time: 5:35am Temp: 1f Weather: Light Snow Route: Treadmill
Notes:

  
Today's run, if not a total failure, was a disappointment. I was supposed to do 7 miles, but I just could not keep running. I have no doubt that I could have finished, I just lost all will to keep going.
  I'm not sure what my problem is, its almost like I have had some sort of Anti-breakthrough. This entire week it has been incredibly difficult to get up and run, and when I get going all I can think about is being done. I think it might be related to the weather, I have not been able to run outside, without risking my life. Last weeks long run was incredibly draining, that 5 days later I am still in a funk. This Sunday I have to do 16miles, and the weather is looking like it is going to be un-runable. This is also weighing on my mind, since it mean another 2 and a half hours on the treadmill, which is only slightly better then running in 1degree weather.
  Oh well, time to move on, I have tomorrow off, and with a bit of luck, that will give me back some wind in my sails.
