I will be the first to admit I have had issues with running for a while. Battling injuries, and personal issues, has left me feeling blah about running. That has changed though over the last couple of months. What has changed? Possibly I have changed.
For starters, I am running more. I am finding the way to get out there 3 days a week, even if it is a shorter than I like run. What the run yesterday reminded me was that getting out and running, is better than not running. I didn't accomplish anything more than right foot, left foot repeat for 40 minutes yesterday, but I think that is better than sitting on my butt, wishing I was running.
I am also enjoying the runs more. I'm not tinkering with time at the moment, so I am able to enjoy the run. I think this is key. A friend of mine ran the recent Mini Marathon, and she told me this wasn't her best race, but it was her favorite, because she just had fun.
So this is my attitude now....to enjoy the run, and let other things take care of themselves.

It is true, if you enjoy the fact you do it, then its always more enjoyable. (Its a tautology).
When you feel like you're punching in a time card, everytime you lace up, then yeah, better take a break.
