Runner's blues...

Well, Dan and I went out for a 22 miler last weekend..... It was supposed to be (in ideal training circumstances) an 'off' weekend where we took it easy, but due to the little time we have left till 'said marathon'......... we needed to do a really long run (ie, more than 20)........ anyway, we weren't ready for it, or were over tired, and could only do 18. So, we walked the last 4 miles of that and came home and played 'sick' the rest of the day. It was horrible! I thought we would be done by noon, and then would spend the day by the pool with all the kids.......... I ended up in bed for most of the afternoon...... Oh, a sad sight it was...... It may sound silly and trivial to you all that I am upset with an 18 mile run with a 4 mile cool down......... BUT, when you can't do what you started out to do, it is a bit defeating.........

Anyhew, we will be off and running next weekend for another 22, but we will finish this one!! :)
