Anyway, on this one, i think that act of saying - what are you doing, going back to race, or maybe it's going back to run.. that is huge. so i have been MIA in blog land for a bit, wanted to get caught up on yours, paged down to this one, which i read at the time,, paged by one comment that stuck out “the slump is definately over”… nice dude, congrats.

If you're not fast to begin with (I'm talking about myself) it's all about the fun HAHA. Glad to see you have a better perspective on things :-) That’s why I avoid speed work.

It definitely should be fun. Running can't be another job or the stick by which to measure oneself. I am happy you went back!! It shows not only that you can adjust your attitude (and so fast!) but that you did better and run smarter under different circumstances, YEY for you! I am very happy to read this.

I've been so concerned about improving my speed lately, that I've lost sight of why I like running in the first place. I think if I just go out for a run sans watch, I'd probably be happy as a clam right now instead of kicking myself for (again) avoiding speed work. Oy, what we do to ourselves... Have a great weekend! Ditto what Lam said.

Yeah, I so agree. Sometimes we get so results driven that we forget that when it comes down to it, running is supposed to be fun. If it's not, whats the point? Hope you find your mojo soon!
