I haven’t really been posting because I haven’t really been running and I’m not really training and well… I don’t know what to write about.
Last Friday I woke up craving some seriously exhausting exercise. I went for an 18k bike ride and then to a kind of intense (for me) yoga class. This week I’ve hiked and swam and ran and lifted weights and finally, a month after the marathon, am feeling like I’m back on track mentally.
Does this happen to other people after they run marathons (or any big goal race)? The burn-out? It wasn’t just that I was burned out from running, I was plain exhausted. I plan on doing another marathon one day and would like to get to the point where I don’t crash like that afterwards.
That said, last night I ran 6k with my run clinic and it was the first good run I’ve had since Ottawa. And the sun is *finally* shining here in Halifax so yay for summer running!

Oh Kaitlyn, I can SO relate. I had my pace-bunny gig scheduled for 2 weeks after my goal race, so I didn’t crash until after that, but man, did I crasy after that. While I am running fairly consistently, I am STILL struggling to get my head back in the game.
Glad I’m not the only one!! 🙂
