16th – 22nd April 2017
This week has been a real struggle. I don’t know why, but I am struggling to get motivated to do anything.
I always seem to find things harder when the kids are off school, I think it is because my routine changes. With the kids off school this Easter, I have forgotten appointments, struggled to eat healthy and I have found it hard to go out training for my half marathon.
I have taken my training very seriously. I know if I don’t train there is no way I can do it. Even though I have struggled this week, I have still managed to go out running.
One thing I have noticed lately is that I seem to have slowed up a lot, things that I found easy all of a sudden now seem hard, I also feel like when I am running I have a big heavy weight on my back slowing me down.
I feel like I have led weights in my shoes too. I am managing to do the distances I want to achieve, but it seems to be taking so much more out of me than normal.
I am hoping that when the kids go back to school again next week I will start to find things a bit easier again. Until then I will have to continue struggling.
I know what you mean. Kids go back tomorrow…. So looking forward to having my own time again
