Yesterday I talked myself out of running entirely, and spent the whole day working on budget stuff. So I got very little activity, but I know how much money I have for the next little while. I have committed to these three marathons, but I'm trying to balance proper training and knowing how I'm going to pay for the travel!
So this morning I definitely have to run, and if I'm training for a marathon, it needs to be a long run, but I'm having trouble rising to the challenge.
Most of the time I have a feeling of "enough," but sometimes I feel a lack of time, money, energy, or all three. Zooming out and looking at the big picture helps, but also scoring some "wins" is necessary -- I need to accomplish something visible so it doesn't feel like I'm just treading water.
UPDATE: I cleared off my table -- that is visible. Also, I checked the marathon website, and read that switching to the half marathon is possible, and maybe I will do that. I need to run a half in Montana, anyway, so it might be a good move to use that as a stepping stone to the full marathon in New Hampshire in November and the Lake Mead Marathon in January. The more I think about it, the more that sounds like a smart idea. It would certainly relieve some of the stress I am under this summer with the divorce, the heat, and the high-energy job.
Anyway, I'm out for some kind of run right now, probably a short one.
