• comments: it felt like a chore that needed to be done, so i did it. it was nice to get out on a thursday morning instead of evening. i'm feeling the effects of cutting back on running and i'm not liking it. i'm also seeing that some 5k's i ran last year are also 10k's. i want to make the commitment, but my mental game is so off at this point. i actually considered giving up running for lent. running has given me a new life, a better one than i had before. quitting is not logical, nor does it feel right. how do i become willing to get back in and stay in 10k shape?
