Feeling the same way myself - which sux because I have a 20 miler coming up this weekend and it is going to take all my mental capacity to get through it. Today I did some 1 mile repeats (6 out of the 7 planned). I almost scrapped it completely but I do attribut my streaking to the fact that i was able to get out of bed at 4:50 AM this morning and go out and do what I did. Especially after being up till 1:00 watching the Olympics (man, I am addicted, but these late nights are killing me).

I signed up to join a local running club, and with that, will sign up to join their marathon training program. I think that will motivate me for the longer runs especially.

That actually might be part of my problem right now. I havent been running with my runnign club as consistently as I was a month or two ago. Just cant figure out why - aside from being able to get my butt out of bed because they run at 5:45 AM every morning.

i'm going to be taking a break from the streaking. And giving myself those two days back. I started crying 2 miles into a 13 mile run... that is where the run ended. The friend I was running with thinks maybe 7 days with this being my first marathon is too much. So i'm gonna try a week or two with some days off and see if that solves the problem.

Sorry to hear it, but do what you need to to keep running (even if it means not streaking). Good luck with your marathon. Jeff

Were you tired or hurting when you started that run? Either way, best of luck to you in your marathon training. Keep your eye on that goal and don't worry about the streaking.

I was tired. Not hurting though. I'm just tired. Very very tired. thank you for the well wishes. I will certainly hang around here since I have every intention of getting back to streaking at some point! It might just have to be after November.
