Low Motivation

Clearly am I far more motivated to maintain my marathon training than I am to maintain this blog.  Which isn't a bad thing.  I did have a week where I didn't run on doctors orders.  I'd apparently cause did some to my toe while running that was causing me quite a bit of pain so took a flying trip to the doctors to find out all I did was bruise the skin under my toenail. I was also in London at during that week which was just another excuse to take a week off. 

Training has since resumed and is going well.  My minimum run distance has increased from 3 mi to 4 and I recently ran my farthest distance to date (10 mi). This past week I've had to deal with dull aching pains in my quads and gluts as I've been adding more variety to my work outs with flexibility and strength training. 

Running has become something of an escape for me.  My personal life in not exactly ideal and can be quite stressful but running is like therapy.  I'm untouchable when I am running and any troubles I may be having are left far behind for as long as I can run.
