Still Struggling
Not sure why it is so much harder to get going this time. I mean this is nothing compared to training for Ironman. I guess I am older, more over weight, my asthma is worse, I am married and have more family responsibility. I doubt it is any of those but maybe a little of all of them.
I am still struggling to keep up with the mid-week runs. I am either too exhausted from work or too over whelmed with my asthma to get quality runs in. My long runs are still fine, slower then I ever thought I would run but fine.
My new plan is to take some of the pressure of my running and just focus on doing anything during the week. Maybe let myself off the hook for that Wednesday run and go for an easy ride or a long hilly walk. Maybe without the performance pressures, I will be able to get some base building in and get enough momentum to get over the starting hurdle.
