I've been a bad runner lately... 43 miles ran so far this month and averaging about 3 times a week. And despite the low milage my legs are feeling pretty battered. Still I'm not too disappointed. After all, low mileage is better than no mileage. If I can just keep it going a little while longer I'm confident that my enthusiasm will return as the weather begins to become more accommodating.
Not only have I been a bad runner, but I've been a even worse blogger! It's funny how 50 hours of employment can really cut into what previously felt like limitless free time. On top of that I have yet to get a computer at work which makes it extremely difficult to accomplish my job and nearly impossible to
But enough excuses. Bottom line is that I need to start adjusting my schedule. I need to make more time for running. After all my first race of the year is coming up in less than 2 months and I'm hankerin' for a PR.
What is a bad runner? Not you.
ReplyDeleteA Bad runner would give up and not run at all. Just reducing your mileage does not mean anything. You have to do what you must. Its great you have a wife that wants to spend time with you. As far as my wife, we are not velcroed together so we operate according to our own. That is what planned dates are for right? Good luck with your training. Take care.
You're still running so therefor you are not being a bad runner. A bad runner would be if you weren't running at all. Low mileage is better than none, I tell myself this when I have bad weeks too.
ReplyDeletelol. i find your sarcasm humorous, i hope that's how it's intended!
ReplyDeletei have been working 50's since last march or april, i can't even remember. it is tough to get much else done AND remain sane. don't worry about putting too much on your plate, focus on what is important to you!
