Slacker

I feel like such a slacker. I haven’t done much in the past week except snowshoe and walk a little. I haven’t been to the gym or been out running or biking. It’s the days and weeks like this that I wonder if I’m really up for this challenge and if I will ever achieve my goals. Basically, I’m in a funk. This gloom really isn’t about the training. Training is easy when other areas of my life are positive and flowing.

In general, I’m a pretty positive personality, but the last couple of weeks I have made some changes and transitions in my work and personal life. I believe them all to be positive changes, but each comes with a variety of new challenges. I have this great vision for the direction that I want to go. Some days I feel this great force just carrying me along toward my vision. Other days I feel like I’m stuck in mud reaching in vain for the horizon. The past week and a half has been “one of those days.”

There are 38 weeks left before Silverman and I’ve got a lot of training still to do. I need my mojo but I seem to have misplaced it. I’m going to go back to look for it now.
