Thoughts:
The month of April started off well. Even though I didn’t PR at the Phillies 5k, I ran moderately well. It was by far my favorite race.
As the month continued, I became more and more burnt out from running. It wasn’t just April that burnt me out but training over the last 6. After Atlantic City on April 23rd, I decided to take rest and rebuild my mental attitude. I don’t hate running, but I wasn’t enjoying it as much, and I never broke through my plateau.
May:
I don’t know what May will bring. I hope I’ll be ready to run again. While I haven’t run or really worked out since last weekend but I do plan to do more cross training and get back to the gym.
