am I run down? I can't stop yawning. I wanted to run today and tomorrow but I just can't get myself out the door. Is my body holding me back or is it my brain? Is it fear of the ITB? Or is is boredom with these 3 milers? b/c I'm afraid of going any further due to ITB?

Even after taking the dogs for a walk yeterday I didn't want to run. Maybe I will wait for it to rain. For some reason rain makes me happy. And now it is just hot and muggy.

I'm definitely in a running funk. Maybe running this afternoon will be better. I'll keep you posted. I have the next two days off and I'm very happy about it.

The usual--just do it or just go mantras are not working. I went on the internet to look for anew mantra to get me out there. I think I may make a training plan for the chicago Urbanatholon. It is pretty cool looking. I"m already signed up and it is something differnt. It is just sooo far away (four months).

Not being in school is really messing me up. No real schedule or plans.

UPDATE--I RAN.....and feel better...my new mantra--screw it and just do it...Guess what? no pain!

I like your new mantra. Good job and getting out and doing it.

I'm kind of a in a running funk and having a hard time getting myself out the door too. I think having a more open schedule in the summer plus the heat makes it really hard. It's easier for me to get out and do it if I know I have to be back at a certain time.

way to get out and get it done. awesome!

Yeah. Sometimes the anticipation of a run is worse than actually getting out there and doing it. Remembering that usually helps me when I am dreading going out.

Maybe you need a change in the routine? A longer run to test your body?

Longer runs and maybe pick a new route. S.I.A.J.D.I.
