Week 4: Day 5 - 2012

cardio:
  • trail/road run (@ 6:35am) = 5.45 miles, time = 58:41, pace @ 10:46
I was dreading the run when I woke up this morning. I felt bored and unmotivated in the beginning of the run. Two miles in, I felt better about running. It was like I had an epiphany or something. This is pretty normal and common for me to get bored and unmotivated after five or six weeks of running without a full week (or more) break. This happens quite often. I still plan to run on Sunday, but I haven't figured out the distance. Originally six miles, but I'm debating if I should cut it short. I haven't signed up for any races and there is a 5K/10K race in two weeks. If I sign up and pay for it now, my motivation may last a little longer because I have a goal to accomplish and I have to run if I want to do ok for the race. If I was to pay on the day of the race (optional) instead of in advance, I'm not sure if my motivation would last that long. I'd like to run the 10K race, but I also want to take a break from running.
