Out of the Rut

Today, I made myself get out there and run. I feel like I'm starting to come back. This morning I pushed myself out the door for a short 4 mile run. Felt good. Went about two miles before needing a walk break. It felt real good to get out and run; I think part of that "good feeling" was due to pulling out of the marathon. I think it was stressing me out. Now that I'm not running it, I feel relaxed and enjoy running again. I'm going to run the Grande-Ass marathon Labor Day Weekend and would like to run the Leavenworth one. Looking for one 4 weeks after that but couldn't find one. The only one I could find that falls inside the 90 day criteria is the Seattle Marathon. Not sure about that one, but that was all I could find. Oh well. It's 8 weeks from the Leavenworth Marathon so I'll have time to train for the hills. Any way, back in the swing of running.
