Halfway thru my 7 week marathon challenge, find myself struggling. Yes, it down-poured in Kansas; Yes, I’ve been sniffling for 2 weeks, cold/runny nose – but those are just excuses. 4:42 finish time yesterday in Oz – my 4th worst.
Physically I think I’m there – mentally, the constant travel, I’m dragging. I miss my mountains.
Woke early Sunday & drove to Estes. Sunshine & snow, elk & bighorn sheep – medicine for the soul. Finished the day with steak rare; plan to hit the gym hard Tuesday & Wednesday. Watch out Kentucky – fixed my head, I’m back in the game.
