i have run almost 130 miles this month and i feel like a slacker. i don't feel hopeful about the marathon and i'm generally bumming about running. irrational i know. this is an odd place for me because generally i am very accepting of my short comings. anyway it was good to get out there and run today and i have to stop thinking when i run and just do it. also i am taking the boston qualifier goal off the table. it doesn't seem feasible and i think it would be terrible to run a marathon and feel badly about the outcome. determination comes when things are difficult and less fun. keep on truckin.

thanks for your interest likewise i enjoy reading your blog. i am feeling better now that i got the 8 in today and finished the 30+ miles. see you sunday!!
130 miles is slacking!?
I know the rut/burn-out well. I am here to tell you that it'll pass. A year ago I was right here with you ... and I am a more renewed, rejuvenated runner than ever.
Hope today went well ... holy smokes you guys had some miles to do!!!
