I didn’t update last week, because to be honest there is really not much to update as far as working out, etc. The only runs I have gotten in since my last half marathon have been a once a week early run with a friend. It is the only motivation I have mustered to get up and run. I am a little disappointed in myself, but life has been so crazy busy the last couple of weeks that the last thing I want to do is add in one more activity.
I love how running makes me feel and need to somehow get back to that. I have been feeling more sluggish and don’t have the energy to barely get through the day.
I will get back, I am making that promise to myself. I wish I had a big race scheduled so that I could have that goal to work towards. When I don’t have a goal, it is so easy to just let go and stop running. The next month is shaping up to be just as busy with the last month of school. My one goal I am going to make is to run at least twice a week and if more runs happen than that will make me happy.
Hope you all are doing well and progressing in your journey to a healthier life. We all have our setbacks, but we can push out of them if we can just find the strength that is already in us. I am not going to let this little step back derail me. I am just going to take the break that I probably needed and restart fresh and slow.

We all need breaks. Most times we come back stronger, so I am glad you are giving yourself some time. Hugs
Hey you know what… the one run a week is better than me… You will get back into your running groove before you know it. Especially with the summer coming up. Hugs
Hope you get your runs in this week! Maybe you can find yourself a new race… Don't beat yourself up though… The last couple weeks of school are always crazy!<br /><br />Good luck sweetie!<br /><br />@seelaurarun
AHHH!!!! Yes, yes, yes! I get it, I hear you. I feel the same way. I need another race soon, even if it is a virtual run. Must get a goal on the board! Thanks for the reminder.
I'm having the same issue with my running, just haven't been really motivated to do it…… but I, too, love who I feel afterwards. Gotta get myself going on it!
Taking a break is ok as long as you come back…Hang in there with the runs and I hope you have a great week
Taking a break is definitely ok and something we all must do every once in a while. And now that you've set your goal of running twice a week, you're on your way to a fresh start.
