This was basically how I was feeling this week. I didn't do so hot racking up the miles. I'm even embarrassed to put the numbers up here.
It was a relatively tame week in comparison to the past two weeks I've been out of the office and jet-setting about. On Wednesday and Thursday, I took a short trip to Whiteriver, Arizona - on the White Mountain Apache reservation. It was simply beautiful out there! Great hiking and camping country.
Anyway, I was trying to make myself put in some miles on Thursday and on Friday evening but my body was still tired from all the traveling. It felt like I wasn't fully recovered from ALL of the traveling because my body never really got a rest on the weekends. The weekends were always full of long running. I think I need something like a massage to get the effects of full relaxation or something.
Anyhow, I am about to put in a 4-mile run this morning on the treadmill.
I need to commit.
I will be starting a hard copy of my running journals. I think I feel more rewarded when I right down things on paper with pen. BUT, today - hopefully new shoes!

Traveling knocks the crap out of me and the rising temperatures in Phoenix aren't very motivating. Go get yourself a nice sports massage and start slowly ramping up the miles next week
It's hard to keep it all balanced but you can do it!
Take it slow, Carmen. Once you get a routine going, it will get easier.
