have been so unmovitvated this week...am definetly feeling better but lots going on and just could not get motivated past few days...hate that. was unmotivated but also emotionally down b/c i am suddenly not running..my mind and body are like...ummmm...can you do something with us please!? i needed this run soo badly today. i made the plan to get on a trail and just run slowly up, down, whatever...just get out there. it was so therapeutic. i absolutely cannot just go cold turkey from running like this. while i was sick it was not a big deal..i accepted it and was fine. but the past few days..knowing that i could be out there but not getting the motivation...blah!
sooo..headed to deer creek canyon park and ran the trails there for the first time. lovely. not sure what elevation i started at but the first 3ish miles were up hill...i did have to walk a few times but that was fine...a lot of the way was snow packed and could have used those screw thingys (and maybe trail shoes!?) but i just took it easy and talked myself out of this slump i have been in. and it worked! amazing what trails can do for me..so happy! |
