Not sure what my problem is but I only ran 11 miles this week! Not good!!! For whatever reason every time I sit still for more than 2 minutes I fall asleep. Tonight we were watching the Pats and Em was watching a movie and off I went to sleepy land! I'm sleeping enough at night...just a tired girl! The forecast looks good for this week so I am hoping to get in at least 5 days of running. Hoping this will break my funk! I am also looking at another race to train for. I am thinking that since I'm not training for anything then maybe I'm getting lazy. Any suggestions?
How do you break out of your funk?
I just keep putting one foot in front of the other. I lower the bar a little so that I feel like I am accomplishing something, even if I'm only running 10-15mpw. Lately I've been on a "do at least 30-min of something everyday" kick which gives me flexibility if I don't want to run. I can lift, do yoga, aerobics, etc without feeling guilty for "missing" mileage. Cut yourself some slack and allow yourself to have fun with your workouts!
ReplyDeleteI think we all hit periods of funk and I do think it's when we finally have a chance to slow down after life has been crazy busy.
ReplyDeleteMy way is to schedule some specific get togethers with friends. I really don't feel like going, but once I do they perk me up and get me to start feeling excited about things again.
I break my funk by signing up for a race and getting a race plan in action. Preferably a race that's not too far away, so the race plan starts THAT DAY.
