No running... no good excuse. I don't know how some of you juggle your schedules--between work and the baby, I'm finding running to be more of a project than an activity I enjoy at the moment. I may just worry about getting in some runs between now and St. George so I can actually run the thing, and not worry about running a blazing fast time. If it happens it happens, but I feel pulled in a million directions right now.

Chris, I've had one of those weeks also. Company from out of town, house projects, work projects, and other things that have been more pressing than training. Sometimes I have to remind myself that at this stage in my life I'm more of a recreational runner, and sometimes there are others things that have to come before running.

Baby jogger helps a lot. Also, do errands running. Running is not always an activity I enjoy, but I know I have to keep running to be able to enjoy it once in a while.

Chris

I feel your pain. Baby, work, coaching and life really get in the way of running. I try to worry about the things I can change, not worry about the things I can't and be smart enough to know the difference. In my opinion, you are running tougher than I have ever seen you run. I think you could take tomorrow through October 5th off and still PR at St. George.

Thanks guys. I actually gave myself a little bit of a lift yesterday when I reviewed some past training logs... I was only running around 50/week before Chicago in 2005 and managed to run 2:45. If Saturday's 1/2 marathon feels as easy as Park City, I should still be OK. As long as I get in workouts and long runs I should still run decent even with two rather lackluster weeks.
