Training Log Archive: Trailrat

Took today off to get some work done around the house that I have been putting off. Little soreness in the joints (hips) but that is it. Should be good to go tomorrow. Ashley and I talked coming to the conclusion that there has just been so much on my plate the past 2 weeks it was a no brainer that I would mentally burn out, it was just a matter of when. We are doing Bighorn even if I have to walk the whole thing (only have to average 2.94 mph to beat cut off). I never do good with loop courses anyways. I like to do courses that I have never been on. Anyway chalk this up as a long run and get back to the drawing board.

Event: Collegiate Peaks 50 & 25 mile trail run
 

CP 50

Turned into the CP25, physically I was fine, mentally not so much. After 5 miles or so I had no desire to be out there anymore and took my time to the end. I am just mentally burn out and came to the conclusion today that I am not sure if I want to do anymore serios racing this year. I am not having fun anymore (last 3 wks or so) and it does not feel like a stress outlet like it used too. Just not sure right now what is next.

Easy walk to get Braden from school.

Walk around the park during Braden's soccer practice. Foot loosened up after about 15mins, wondering if I am starting to get planter f

Easy run at Bear Creek Lake with a few pick ups, felt ok

Road/trail around the hockey ring while Braden played his game. Little quicker pace than I wanted but that is ok

Easy 30-40 min run

Went a little faster than I should have but just ran and did not watch the clock. Just ran around the block on the main roads.
