Mind Game

I am not playing the mind game too well these days. Previous marathoners tell me that at least half of the success of completing a marathon is between the ears, meaning mental determination, of course. On Monday, I just did not make myself go out and do 50 minutes, plain and simple. I am not proud of it, I am ashamed. Yesterday, I planned to do 50 minutes to make up, but ended up only doing 30 minutes. I ran some but am not sure how much since I had no watch with me. Told myself I would do elliptical when I got home from homeowners' assoc. meeting last night, but nope, I didn't...did not even remember that I was going to do this. For whatever reason, I have these ebbs and flows of enthusiasm, not so enthused, determination, not so determined, etc. I am looking forward to the enthusiasm returning.

I think I need a vacation and I will have one coming up soon. My hubby and I are going to a B&B in Fairhope, AL for 4 days over Memorial Day. It is a cool place on the water with hammocks, a convenient spa, a large pier for crabbing, fishing, bicycles, great restaurants nearby (maybe not an asset), beautiful landscaped gardens with seating for that perfect reading nook, and we plan to totally "veg out for 4 days"...except for doing probably 10 miles of wogging on Saturday, riding bikes on Sunday, and the 50 min. on Monday!
