Week 8 of training has been a crappy week. If you read my post from yesterday, I didn't get to run my 10 mile race which was supposed to be my long run for the week and then today when I headed out for my planned 8 miler, I just wasn't feeling it and only ended up with 4.5 miles.
Half the time this week I didn't feel like working out or running or doing pushups. Where the heck did my mojo go??
Well I have to find it now, because I only have 2 weeks til my half marathon and I can't punk out now when I have worked so hard!
Here's a short recap of crappy week 8.

This training hasn't gone exactly as planned but I am proud to say that I have gotten most of my long runs in and some strength training which are two of the most important things.
Hopefully the next two weeks will go good for training and then it's race time!
The important thing is that you're still moving! We all have those weeks - here's to a good one this week!
ReplyDeleteI agree with Meghan! Way to keep plugging away..next week will be better :)
ReplyDeleteNo worries - you still have time!
ReplyDeleteI also think it's great that you got most of your long runs in - I have no idea how training works, but I think that'd definitely be important!
BEST of luck this week!
You will do great in your half. Don't let one rough week of training make you think you've spoiled your chances.
ReplyDeleteNot every week is going to be perfect - don't sweat it! You are going to have a great half! :)
ReplyDeleteWe all have meh weeks!! What matters is you are not giving up and you are putting forth effort! You will rock this half marathon!
ReplyDeleteSorry about the rough week. Hope the past couple have been much better for you!
