Heh. Aren't I clever with my little title pun?
I haven't done much this week; hence, the lack of posting. I'm in Philadelphia because I'm playing with an orchestra here this week, which is fun, but my training has been pretty pathetic.
I was supposed to go for an 18m run this morning, and instead slept in and then ate a big breakfast. I had been keeping up with my schedule so well and then it ll went to hell this week. I just never really got into a routine here. I ran a couple of times, but only for a few miles and they were really easy runs.
Maybe I'll still try and do my long run tomorrow. I just don't wanna. You know? When you just don't feel like it? I can usually suck it up and get out there anyhow and then of course I'm happier with myself. But blech I just don't know if that's going to work this time.
Maybe it's the winter, but it's not even really cold out. School is starting again on Tuesday. I've been so lazy during break; I don't know how I'm going to get through the days without my 2 hour naps. It's unfortunate that I don't have time for them during the school year.
But anyway. Enough complaining, eh? I'll get back into the swing of things quickly enough, I'm sure.
In some good news, I believe I got a job teaching spinning classes as a local gym for Monday and Wednesday mornings, which is pretty awesome. It'll make me keep up with at least a minimal amount of biking, it'll make me get up early, not to mention giving me a little extra cash. Plus, I even like teaching...which is definitely a good thing considering I'm going to school to be a teacher, right?
Anyway, nothing all that interesting to say, which is why I've been keeping quiet. But, I just wanted say that I am alive and well. I'm playing a concert tonight; should be fun! Hopefully I'll have some better material once things get going for me here in the Northeast...

We all get the blahs sometimes... just trust that you'll be back. Cuz you will.
It happens to the best of us. I was incredibly lazy during my winter break and it was exactly what I needed to be rested and rejuvenated for a new semester.
break a leg at the concert! (is that alright to say for concert performances?) you'll find your run groove soon enough :o)
Leading a spin class and getting paid for it... WOOT!
I've got the post-race blahs. But, at least you get some Philly gigs. Orchestra rocks, . . . . in a manner of speaking.
Yeah, I blew off a large part of my training this week as well. I always find that I am a little more focused and well rested when i come back form these unplanned breaks. That doesn't keep me from feeling guilty about them :-)
I do the same thing from time to time...and the winter certainly doesn't help matters. You'll be back!
are you gonna give us a concert report, like a race report?
whatchyagonna use?
movements instead of miles?
hope you PR'd cSu!
Everyone has an off week-- don't beat yourself up over it. I think it's hard to stick with training plans over vacations/breaks, but it's always temporary.
Congrats on landing the spinning classes! I've always wanted to do that.
