I ran this morning for the first time this week, though it felt like the first time in years. Given the way things have gone this week — the painful situation with my now-departed dog, the late night in NYC and the head cold that seems to be brewing — I probably should be glad I managed three miles on the treadmill and did it in 26:08..

Four miles today and they were tough. And I have a headache. And I think the weather and the presidential election are getting to me.

I ran four this morning, with a surprisingly strong breeze and painfully tight legs. It just seems more difficult than I’d like of late.

I ran four miles this morning and am hoping to get out and do five tomorrow. We’ll see — the way I’ve been going, I’ll probably oversleep and never lace up the running shoes.

Maybe I’m getting old, but my morning runs have been growing increasingly difficult. Take this morning, for instance. I got outside and pushed out three miles, but I felt heavy and listless, and knew from the outset that three was all I had in me.
The thing that is most disheartening is that it was just a year ago last week that I ran in the Long Beach Island 18-mile run and was in my best running shape in a long time.
Maybe I need a real goal.
