Well, just as I should have expected.. setting myself a crazy/dumb ass goal has not made me excited to go out and run more... in fact... it has made me want to run less.
You'd think, being a 31 year old fairly self-aware individual I'd have known better...
Digressing...
UGH. What can I do to get excited about running long distances again???? TELL ME PEOPLE, I NEED HELP.

Schooling bitches since 2005
About us
This blog started back in 2007 after my friend April and I ran our first marathon together: Country Music Marathon. We found blogging to be a fun way to virtually train together since we lived 3 hours apart from each other.
A few years ago, April decided to take a leave of absence from contributing to the blog as a result of other commitments. So, now, you're stuck with me and my complaining and some cat gifs (if you're lucky).
Thanks for reading the blog and feel free to comment and email me anytime! 26point2ers@gmail.com

I understand. Sometimes take a break from it. But if not, get a buddy!!! thats what i did and i love it sooo much more now.
I know we all hate 5ks, but why not set your sights on short/middle distances for a while instead of mega-gargantua races? Try running 25-30 mpw for a couple months and take the pressure off yourself. Then go from there.
Personally, I wouldn't recommend a break at this point...Just a break from, say, ultras.
And let's not forget that trying to build mileage right at the start of horrific summer heat is a major PITA.
