I’m not exactly sure why, but Reagan and I have the tendency to psyche ourselves out before races. Reagan is worse at it than I am. For example, she came in this morning after her run, telling me that she can’t breathe when it is cold, so the race on Saturday is going to be a disaster. Whatever dude, you have have been training like crazy and are totally ready. I’m sure that you are going to do awesome. I, on the other hand, have legitimate concerns about my readiness. I haven’t done one stitch of running, or conditioning of any type, since the Philadelphia race. I’m starting to have a bit of anxiety. Anyway, I hope that we can both just chill out and have a good time. What is the worst that could happen? We both get terrible times? Hahahaha

I haven’t been training. That is the update. Reagan, on the other hand, has really taken the bull by the horns and gone for it. She printed out a schedule and everything. I’m not really sure what my problem is. I have been so unmotivated since we returned from vacation. I get up, move the car, then get back in bed until the last possible minute before I get ready for work. Then after work, it is like I have to prod myself to even get up the gusto to watch a movie or something. I don’t really know what my problem is. Anyway, I’m going to try to turn it around this weekend and start really going after it.

As a side note, Reagan and I discovered on Sunday that a lot of people from church are also signed up for the Hartford race. A couple of them are the same people that did the last LI race with me. We have also been toying with the idea of running the half marathon in Philadelphia, in September, as a part of traning. Wish me luck and send me mental waves of energy, so that I can get pumped about running, again.
