Runner's prayer: God, grant me the serenity to accept when I cannot run; the courage to run when I can; and the wisdom to know the difference.

Sometimes running is just hard
Some days I can just put in my ipod and those miles tick by rather easy and some days it feels like my legs have never run a mile before in their lives. That's how I've felt all week. Every mile has been so painful it's hard to keep going. I tried to run while camping but I ended up turning the run into intervals since my legs just wouldn't move. I had to run my 5 miles last night and turns out, I don't like night running. My stomach was full from dinner, blah, and a lot more people are out in the evening then the morning. I like morning a lot better. So tomorrow I run 9 miles. I really hope they don't feel as bad as every other miles I've run this week.

Heh, there! Kind of sounds like burn out. You may be wearing yourself out. Might want to take an extra rest day, or two? You'll be better off missing a running day, than ending up hurt, or bonk on your big race day. I've got 8 miles planned for tomorrow and I'm worried that I may be developing an injury myself. We'll see how it goes in the morning. I'll be thinking of you! P.S. Love your blog . . .
