So I have this race coming up. A half marathon on October 30th. It's a race put on by Luke's Locker among other people and I am a part of Team Lukes. I have to run well. And to run well I also have to, well, run.
I just haven't been feeling it. I sat down and wrote out a training plan at the beginning of August. And I haven't followed it since the first week. I'm still running, kind of, but I've all but stopped going to yoga. And I've come to realize that I really need the yoga in order to loosen up and not be tight on my runs.
For the last year, I've been doing hot yoga pretty regularly - several times a week. And my running has been great. Eight minute pace had been comfortable. July 24th was the last day I really went to yoga. I went a solid eight weeks with zero classes and noticed a serious decline in how good I felt on runs.
I just. I haven't wanted to run or go to yoga or do much of anything.
So now I have 22 days to try and get ready for this race. I have to get in at least one, hopefully, two double digit runs before then. S has offered to pace me for the first 7 next weekend so that should really help. And I want to try and do at least three yoga classes a week until then. Hopefully this is something that I can easily bounce back from.
