This was a fun epiphany: I don't have to run my next planned half if I'm feeling burned out.
I haven't signed up yet, and while I keep telling people I can't take time off because I'm running the Hooter's Half March 3, I now realize...I could do my race-a-month plan and not run that half.
I feel really liberated. I haven't decided yet for sure, but I like knowing I have options on the table.

Such an important thing to remember!
ReplyDeleteYep! I'm feeling more mentally sick of running than physically, but it's been affecting my run quality, so I don't think pushing through it would necessarily be good.
DeleteI've never taken a break in order to improve my running before, so this is new ground for me!
