Running on empty

In light of my earlier post, one good thing came of it.

I had a good run today.

I haven't run in a week, so I'm falling way behind on that. But when I went out today, once I had warmed up, I was on a pretty good, steady pace. Well...not that great (3 minute quarters) but for a marathon, if I can keep that pace continuous, I should finish around 5:30, which would be perfect. It's all mental anyway, right?

Plus, I got to run off some steam. It helped, though it didn't really rejuvenate me as I had hoped. I haven't really been motivated this week. I think the lack of stress levels is problematic. Not to mention my mental state today was NOT good.

Hopefully a good night's sleep will help.
