I have lost all motivation for running fast 5ks on the trail. Yesterdays Suntroke 5k on TLT was full of very good masters runners....Cindy Salazar, Nancy Dasso and some others. I knew that by the 3/4 mile mark last week was not a fluke so I slowed down and just ran kind of easy. The longer, easier paced runs feel just fine. My body is just not interested in running fast. I also think the adjustment in my schedule isn't helping (working Tuesday nights now so I can be off Friday). Am doing much, much better on my diet and my weight is slowly drifting down. Consistantly in the 140-142 lb range in stead of 144-145 range.
I have decided to do Dwayne's DC focused AT&T Rogue group in the fall.
My poor horse has sore feet from his trek outside his pasture the other night but today looks much better than yesterday. I am hopeful he will be all better by next weekend for the horse show.
Up at 4:40 this AM to run with Leslie and Diana - very easy paced 6miles but it felt good despite being a little humid today. Plan 8-10 miles tomorrow and at least 12 on Saturday with Rogue.

The beauty of joining a training group is that sometimes peer pressure is an adequate substitute for motivation;-)
No...nothing can motivate me to run one more fast 5k on the trails! I am looking forward to getting back in the training group in Sept. I will say that I thoroughly enjoyed the long run on Sat to Mt Bonnell. I had no intention of running 14 miles but once I got out there with everyone else I just couldn't help my self.
