The Let Down

It had to happen, and today it did. I came down from my marathon high. Just feeling low today, trying to figure out a running/training schedule. Add to that it is FUCKING COLD(excuse my French) outside. We have been around ZERO! And are headed further down the themometer. Brrrr!

So I have thinking about running goals for the year. I know I want to do two half marathons. The first will be in May in Green Bay, WI. Not sure about the second one. My next marathon? I am thinking I want to head back to Phoenix next January, and work on bettering this year's race time. I feel I have some unfinished business out there.

So while I am feeling very good about how I did a couple weeks ago, I think there is a natural let down after working so hard - and it hit me today. I'll be fine. I guess I have to go through this.

I am trying NOT to eat as I would when I am emotionally down. That is a bad thing...as you all know. So I am making sure whatever snacks that are around do not come near me, or vice versa.

So while today is a blue day....I know eventually I will get past this feeling. It just sucks today.
