Keeping My Head Down

I know it's been awhile since my last post...

     I spent several months pushing hard to become a triathlete and after my 2 trial Tri's, I was sunk to a pretty low mental state. I had a lot of frustrations with how my races went (manly with how fast I was) I have spent most of my life in the Top of whatever sport I have thrown myself into. And didn't do well with just having a goal of just Finishing. So I took a break from all the biking and swimming and have just been running. I have never run a marathon so a marathon is on my schedule (ready or not) for the last 2 months I have spent it trying to get on a schedule so that come race day I'll be ready. The last few weeks have been rough. I had a 15 mile and 2 16 mile runs for my long runs and it feels like my legs are never going to back to 100%. It's weird but when you have to swim bike run you learn where to take breaks with your legs but when all your doing is running then there is no easy way but to put in the miles. Also due to the amount of mileage and current heat in Kansas City I have been pushed back to a treadmill which after about 30 minutes of a 90 minute run gets real boring (That reminds me I need a new run mix) so here is a idea of my next few weeks of workouts

I'm on week 11

 and like the title says I've just been busy Keeping My Head Down and grinding out miles.
