Burn Out?

August 6 - August 12

Total Mileage - 12.1

I missed my first run of this go around this week.  Truth be told I chose not to run.  I had three days where I could have got the last run of the week in (a 5k) but I just didn't feel like it.  Its odd that ever since I signed up for CIM I have not had the desire to run like I did before.  Being totally honest I am having a lot of self doubt about finishing 26.2.  Now that I have signed up I can definitely tell that I am feeling stressed about it.  Which totally defeats the purpose since I run to help ease stress. 

It was a taper week on top of that.  A week to take it easy and I chose to forgo an easy run.  Maybe it was what I needed and this week will be better.  Time will tell. 

I was in the city on Friday and walked part of the Embarcadero to ATT and got a feel for the course that I'll be running in a few weeks.  Not sure why, but the concrete felt harder (not sure if that is possible, but I swear it did).  The views were fantastic and I'll be running under the Bay Bridge on way to the Golden Gate.  Should be pretty cool. 

Hopefully next week will be better.
