Real David H.

I’m tired. After months of what felt like non-stop thinking about running and spending 4-5 days a week getting up and running, I’m just flat-out tired.

I know this feeling will subside, I’ll get re-energized and will enjoy running. Besides, I have a 1,000 mile goal to hit. I have a half marathon in less than four months to run. I have 2008 to plan. But I’m tired. I know there’s no rush or no pressure to run hard for a little while, and I don’t feel bad about it. On the days I have run, I can feel my body still getting over the abuse of 26.2 miles.

Some people can just get right back out there and keep racing. But did I mention that I’m tired!?!? I’m not one of those people. Not yet.

Hope you all have a very Happy Thanksgiving. For those turkey trotting that day, have a great run. I’ll be running my own, very slow trot that day, but I’ll be out there no matter how tired I feel. There’s no reason to stop now.
