In a rut
I feel like I've been in a rut for the past few months. My running hasn't felt like it's been up to par lately. But if I'm being honest, I don't think it's ever really been up to par. I call myself a runner because I've done multiple races and I usually go running multiple times a week. But I don't feel like a runner. I could be much better. If I pushed myself. But that's the thing, I don't push myself. I run the same route each week. It takes me the same amount of time each run. No better, sometimes worse. I often stop and walk if I start to feel winded, when I should actually be pushing myself to be better. I feel like this is also related to my life as well. I go through the motions, but I want so much more out of it. I need to push myself to be better. Go outside my comfort zone and try new things that test my limits. Who knows, maybe something great will happen. But there's always that fear that I will stumble and fail and be unable to recover.

ReplyDeleteI've sooo been there! I've often found that my runs parallel my life...when things in life are going well, I get into the "zone" a lot quicker, but when I feel worn out at life in general, my runs suffer as well. Maybe try planning a fun dinner party for friends or taking a class that interests you? Trying new things is always hard, but regret more often comes from NOT trying. Love you!
