Week 15 - Day 1 - 5 Miles

"I ran to be free; I ran to avoid pain; I ran to feel pain; I ran out of love and hate and anger and joy." - Dagny Scott, Runner's World Complete Book of Women's Running 


Thank goodness for cooler temperatures!  Tonight's run was a pleasure.  It has been a while since I truly enjoyed a short run.  Lately it has felt a bit like drudgery.  Tonight I feel revived and excited about this process again.  I am noticing that my body is wanting to go back to its old sedentary lifestyle lately.  Well it's either my body or my brain.  I can't tell where the desire to lay around and do nothing comes from.  I wonder if I will ever know.  What I DO know is that it is getting harder and harder to drag my ass out there.  I think the excitement of the early days of training and the satisfaction of the subsequent milestones has worn off and I am getting tired.  I wonder if I will get revived in the last weeks before the event...we will see.
