I did everything wrong...

So I am not sure if I have discussed the fact that I am running a 1/2 marathon on October 19 on my blog yet. Well I am. I also happen to be a bit OCD about my training for the 1/2. It is not that I am timing myself and looking for constantly perfect runs. It is just that I have my routines and things that I feel like I must do in order to complete my long runs. Today was a long run day. Normally, I get up early 7:00 am, and I eat the same breakfast and I head out for my run. Today I slept in - mistake number 1, I wore a different outfit - mistake number 2, and I had a bad attitude - mistake number 3. For me running is about the mental games you play to get your through what you have to do to succeed. I lost this game today.

I hate to continue to be a downer but all in all I am feeling like I have the blues. I am supposed to go over to my friends house to spend the night tonight, and I do not feel like it at all. I am considering canceling. Now that I failed for this weeks long run, I am stressing about the fact that the weekend before the 1/2 marathon I am going out of town for a friends b-party.

I feel like spending the day on the couch watching TV. I also sort of believe that when my body is giving me these mental signals I should listen. I might just be alone today and do my own thing and see what tomorrow brings me...
