I have been going through a very rough stretch as of late. The exercise routine feels like more of a malaise and I haven't been having much fun. It could be some lingering discontent from my injury in February, when a month of restricted training turned into weight gain and a not-so-unexpected poor performance at the NYC Half. My workouts are inconsistent – I seem to do just enough to check the box, but they are really not doing me much good at all.
I purposefully started a runstreak 10 days ago. It was my way of saying, “I’m going to beat this. Running every day, no matter how little, will eventually kick me into gear.” But it hasn’t. My lunch runs, which earlier in the year consistently clocked in at 4 miles, have been anywhere between 1 mile and 3.5 miles. I never hit 4 miles all last week.
