I am struggling. I hurt myself on Saturday from running downhills in the 1/2 marathon. It caused my IT band to become tight and has limited my walking/running and I have not run this week. It is effecting my mind though, I am starting to doubt my training efforts and my ability to do this. Since I have already completed a marathon I know what to expect and I feel like that is making my vision cloudy. It could be burn out also, I calculated the miles and I have completed over 475 miles and I still have two long runs to complete (18miles and 20 miles) before my training is over. I am just in a funk and need to get it out of my head, but it's easier said then done. I think one of the biggest hurdles I am trying to overcome is not letting anyone down. Everyone has been VERY supportive and for that I want to thank each of you, but this internal struggle is hard to shake. I am hoping to run a 5k on Sat morning & evening, but I am questioning if it will help my internal struggle or make it worse - especially if I do not place in my age group.
I'll let you know the results......... stay tuned..........
