I've hit a bit of a brick wall this week. If I'm truly honest to myself, I started hitting it probably a week ago, but I managed to work through it. This week I haven't been so successful.
Usually when something like this happens, I gloss over the difficult times and then really celebrate the good times and the wins. I've decided to be a lot more honest this time. I'm struggling. By Thursday, I only needed to run 10km, but somehow I've managed to not find the time to even do that. I just couldn't get my mind into it. I had an excuse for each day.
To help myself get through this, I've decided to look at this a different way. Instead of continually reminding myself that I am 10km behind, I am going to put this 10k to the side. Tomorrow starts a new week and instead of stressing over this rough week (or 2) I am going to try and stay positive and get back into the swing of things.
The reason I've hit this little running stump is because I've been feeling a little down. I'm reluctant to call it depression because I haven't ever been diagnosed, but it's a really glum sort of feeling. It's really sapping my energy - which annoys me to no end since I picked up running to combat these blues (amongst other reasons).
So in the interest of being honest, I am now 10k behind. To save my sanity, I am putting that 10k on credit, and I will pay it off slowly. So that puts me at 50km down, 950km to go.
