So I ran 12 miles this week. 12 whole miles, it was not a good week. 12 miles is how many I was supposed to run today alone and instead it is my weekly total. I just seriously lacked motivation this week. And I had family in town and we stayed at a fun water park hotel and I just wore myself out. By the time Saturday rolled around I didn't want to get up early. A Bear had meeting all morning and by the time he got home I had no desire to get ready and run 12 miles in the cold. The weather was awful, just awful and with no treadmill, I just didn't want to do it. I have got to recommit myself for these last 4 weeks. I am just 4 weeks away now, I am getting so close. I have to keep going. I've worked too hard for 14 weeks to give up now and not push myself to the finish. This coming week is my 22 mile run. Its going to be cold this week and some rain, 22 miles is not going to be easy but I can do it. I can make it through. I think I am going to drop my cross train this week so I can keep my legs nice and fresh all week. I need to recommit myself to eating better too. I had a rough weekend, well last two weekends I haven't eaten very good so I need to keep eating healthy and no sugar on the weekends too. I feel like I am aware enough with my body to know what to eat the night before a long run and the morning of. The Gu has been working really well for me. I just need to keep going and take good care of myself. I need to start icing my legs and knees as they have been bothering me some. I can do it, 4 more weeks!
