Is is overtraining or lack of focus?
A good question to be asked at this point in the summer training season. After four days of rest this past weekend, I returned to the roads last evening for a 9 mile jaunt. This same tired feeling in the legs returned. I fear that I have reached a point where my body is saying that I have trained too hard for too long and have not given it a sufficient rest. It feels like my legs don't recover between runs anymore and this cannot be good. It takes away all desire to race in anything. Now, this could relate to numerous factors because of my rather busy lifestyle. Do you have any ideas? It may also relate to the continued late inning blunders of the Bosox as typified here. Any thoughts?

Blisters r me....that is how I have felt after my wet run on tuesday where I wore an old pair of runners that just cause my feet to be messed up. Last evening I chose to run with those hulagirl socks that are far too thin and also allow too much movement. So, the lesson to be learned here today is to stop wearing those socks and to stop wearing those oldies that cause blisters. Did four fours last night all under 72 which I was surprised I could pull off because my legs just feel tired but seem to still have some jump to them even though I can't feel it. It's softball tonite and then an easy seven...see how that goes. A sidebar is the fact that Hershey's is considering going up for sale in what would be a rather interesting debacle in this area. Stay tuned.

A 10 miler on Monday which has pretty much been the minimum mileage norm for Mondays during the summer months. Yet, I almost didn't make it to the end. My entire body felt so incredibly wasted for the last 7 miles of the run! It turned into one of the worst runs I have experienced since the death loop back in January. Things look to improve later in the week, yet sleep has lacked again. It is cooler today so I should be able to get in a decent workout on the track tonite. Keep running as they say!

Tomorrow is the annual Harrisburg Mile road race held in downtown Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. I have been planning to race in it ever since my dismal performance of last summer. Yet, here I find myself bailing on the last day. I talked it up earlier this spring with some of the runners at Northern and now I am not even going to be racing. The racing motivation level is extremely low right now and I need to kick myself out of this funk. And here this afternoon I find out that my good teammate Drew and fellow coach Keith both will be racing tomorrow. Too late now, I ran a 10miler last night, not condusive to racing in a day!
