11 Aug Transition Run 4.5 miles

Ok – I know that “transition” run doesn’t exist but it’s part of my plan to shift the training schedule such that I do the long runs on Saturdays instead of Mondays.  I was supposed to run a 10 mile today and I’m actually quite thankful that I’ll have the additional week to do it.  The idea is to run a 5-3-5 sequence starting tomorrow.  I realized that I really shouldn’t have been running today but this struck me only once I started.  Does this mean this running thing is habit forming?

Anyway, I think my motivation is waning, especially because other concerns such as the dissertation, finding a job and other such matters.  I suppose the running is supposed to keep my mind off these things and give me a bit of a respite from real world concerns BUT it’s hard to get motivated!
