It's a bit scary running on the country roads as there isn't much shoulder. I'm intrigued by you love for triathlons though, and now will spend the next hour looking and planning for some in the area, haha!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2280571059554402649.post-74727869983817180672011-11-14T08:59:42.907-06:002011-11-14T08:59:42.907-06:00A "DNS" always stings, even when it'...A "DNS" always stings, even when it's the right call.

I think I had more "runner friends" there to help keep me motivated. Though it is beautiful to run here, the races are not the same. But I'm slowly starting to meet new runner friends (even though one just left me cause her hubby got stationed in Georgia). <br /><br />Maybe focus on just tri's and set a few destination races to focus on to hopefully help keep you motivated. I'll be at Seattle RnR next year, you should run that one again :)Cynthiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11915445766937263434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2280571059554402649.post-18464660016014988212011-11-13T21:59:45.716-06:002011-11-13T21:59:45.716-06:00Glad you know you WILL make it outta this valley! ...Glad you know you WILL make it outta this valley!

T...I read your blog on occasion but never comment. Thought I would offer up a cyber hug to you this time. It sounds like you could use one. I used to live in the Hampton Roads area of VA - not sure where you live, but I moved to a total blah area to run in - and lack of umph to push through - totally have that! My running partner and I are head to Monterey, CA next weeked for the Big Sur half marathon - I see you're training for the full - now. . . there's beauty, so I hope you find your way out of the shadow so you can enjoy what lies ahead of you.

If it's a...Aw, Amanda. Hang in there, friend. <br /><br />If it's any consolation, my spark is fizzling, too. I didn't run yesterday, I probably won't today. In fact, I haven't run since Wednesday. I'm trying not to panic and just roll with it.<br /><br />PS: WE were spoiled having YOU out here.

I ran a marathon a week ago and kep thinking, this is all we do?

Do you have any running stores down in your neck of the woods? If you do, maybe you can stop in and ask if there is any group runs or running clubs around. It sounds like you need some running friends to get you out and there. Sometimes it is better to run with others. And sometimes other people are the ones that force us to get our shoes on and out the door :) Next summer could be your Year of the Tri! Sounds like just the thing to keep u going (too bad we are heading into winter). <br /><br />Keep your chin up!Running Librarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04859462383001248794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2280571059554402649.post-62924032002734884262011-11-13T00:33:14.629-06:002011-11-13T00:33:14.629-06:00I know a good way to cheer you up.... sign up for ...I know a good way to cheer you up.... sign up for the Berlin Marathon and stay with me :)Michellehttp://www.michelledoesgermany.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2280571059554402649.post-82748417311798133452011-11-12T22:42:56.574-06:002011-11-12T22:42:56.574-06:00You're doing a great job...keep on, keeping on...You're doing a great job...keep on, keeping on! :)runnergirl traininghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18145836112532922962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2280571059554402649.post-9665020469094111052011-11-12T20:13:05.282-06:002011-11-12T20:13:05.282-06:00Hugs to you!!

No 2 ways about it. Hey, who knows, maybe the fact that you'll sit it out AND that you'll pick up some new Asics (my fav) will help fan your flame a little longer one day. And then a little more the next....<br /><br />Wishing you well :)Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09956724450988998624noreply@blogger.com
