I’ve been in a weird place the last few months.
Both in running and life. Or maybe it’s mostly life but spilling over into running? Hmmm. Who knows.
I have a birthday coming up in a few days and I’m not sure how I feel about it. I keep joking that I’m going to wear all black and mope about it. I growl anytime someone brings it up. Which maybe isn’t so nice.
I just feel…. off. Not quite sure how to describe it.
My job is great, my coworkers awesome. My running may be measly and pathetic these days but I have 41 half marathons and 2 full marathons under my belt and not really all that many people can say that. Personal life may not be where I thought I would be at this point but is anyone’s really ever? And it’s not like it’s bad or anything, just quiet. And I like quiet. For the most part. I had some weird health concerns this year, so maybe that’s adding to it? Oh and the ultrasound came back clean so yay!
I started the week with a good run hoping that would set on the right path. Not that I know what that would be exactly. The week was as crazy busy as I thought it was going to be. I forgot what day it was half the time. Which can also be a good thing if it works in your favor. And I have another 3 day weekend to look forward to as I don’t work on Monday.
Not sure where I’m going with this maybe I just needed to vent? I’ll be back in a better mood next time, promise.

I don’t think anyone’s life turns out how they thought it would, at least mine definitely didn’t. I’ll take quiet over drama any day.

Very true. And for the most part, quiet is good. Just sometimes I feel too quiet.

I don’t know how old you are, but maybe plan some activity to celebrate. I had a hard time when 50 rolled around. To get me out of that mind set and know that life could get better and didn’t have to go down hill from there, I planned for and ran my first ever race, a 10K trail, the day before my birthday that year. It really did help. BTW, I don’t recommend a 10K trail race as a first race for anyone. I wasn’t properly trained for it either.

I hope you find something to get you out of your funk soon.

I keep trying to think of something fun to do but haven’t yet. I so wasn’t trained for my first trail race either! Then again I also had no idea it was going to be a trail race at all so there’s that.😂

That’s funny. I didn’t realize mine was either. I was shocked. ;lol; I did think it was fun though. I need to do some trail races, but I’m not sure I’d do well with the more technical ones.
