On Saturday I was supposed to do my 12 mile long run. My legs felt really tight and heavy. I managed to run the first 5.5 miles, and then I kind of lost it. I was really distracted by job searching nonsense and I was just not mentally into my run. I walked the next 4.5 miles and then because I wasn't sure what time it got dark, I drove home and walked the last two miles on my Kingswood loop. I was very, very frustrated and disappointed in myself that I couldn't run the whole thing. I was proud of myself for not totally giving up and finishing all the miles. I know I need to concentrate mentally from now on. I am also thinking that some music would help me on my weekend long runs so I have something else to focus on. Any suggestions?
I'm ready to get back on track with my training this week and be mentally ready as well!

| Well you did finish your miles even though you weren't in to it. Not sure I like the idea of running with music. I'd rather you be aware of what's happening around you. | |
