Since the Marathon [0], I have been in a slump. Really lazy, disorganized. Running has been less, haphazard. Not as planned as before. And I haven’t been able to really “click it” with the strength work. (And you _know_ when it is clicking).
My goal right now is not to run a marathon, but to loose weight. The number on the scale has to come down.
I will NOT starve for this. I need to preserve muscle. And I need to build a frame and muscles so that when the weight comes off, it looks good.
I will not give up on the running. But I will focus on 1 mile and 3 mile runs.
And I will shift more time to walking and strength.
It has taken me 9 years to get back to the point that I want to try it again. I’m doing way more mileage, in way better shape, I weigh less, and my ability to go back and see all my workouts and times through my watch and Garmin Connect has made it readily apparent why I failed so miserably.
