Please forgive the selfish post---just trying to work through some stuff and hoping someone here will have some advice. I have been training for the marathon since August, and I am still planning to run, but I'm worried I've lost a little of my "drive" this week. My dad passed away(pretty unexpectedly) on Tuesday. It has been pretty emotionally wrenching(I was also named executrix of the will) and I have not felt like even thinking about running. I made myself run 3 yesterday---I went outside to run even though it was 22 degress because I knew if I got on the treadmill I would just get right back off.
I have followed a training plan pretty rigidly, already did my 20 miler on Dec. 18 so I guess I am ready, but I guess I am worried because I just don't feel very "strong" right now. I'm glad I am tapering this week, hoping that will help. I'm supposed to run 8 tomorrow and I hope that after that I will feel better.
Thanks for listening,
Jen
