Tonight something inside me snapped. On the back-to-back ultra - TopicsExpress



          

Tonight something inside me snapped. On the back-to-back ultra marathon weekend I picked up an overuse niggle afterwards. Mentally I was much weaker than I realised. I became so withdrawn that I went from 12-14 hours of training per week to 0 hours per week. 3-4 weeks passed when I rejected my passion for running. I lost all of my confidence in my ability to run. Forget 60+ mile weekends, the thought of a single mile was mentally too much for me. I had well and truly lost my game. Tonight, after baking (and eating far too many) cinnamon cookies, I found myself pulling on my sneaks and some gloves, and with a little rotund cookie belly, I ran. I hadnt planned to run for a while, but my legs need for forward motion had that plan aborted. Ran for around 5 miles - no garmin, no pressure, just me and the world. Sorry for the novel here, but finally I think I might have just turned a corner out of my silly funk. Xox
