My biggest running challenge is not to stop to take pictures of flowers, the sunrise, deer, etc. I'd have the same problem if I lived where you live.

I find making myself a "daily schedule" even for my weekend days (my free days) makes it easier: Run & Recover 8-12, lunch, errands (or whatever) 1-3 pm, junk TV from 3-5 pm.... haha!

I know how beneficial it is, but it's tough to motivate ourselves to reach the level of discomfort that speedwork entails. Yes to running that feels good and is fun! My thought is that if it isn't enjoyable, we will be challenged to keep doing it, right? (Hence why I struggle to do regular speedwork...)emmers712https://www.blogger.com/profile/15865493476823978890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6993815500672701308.post-81950144184601704262016-09-27T10:24:51.047-06:002016-09-27T10:24:51.047-06:00I wouldn't worry about speed work so soon afte...I wouldn't worry about speed work so soon after your marathon - just enjoy running again!Kathy McElhaneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03999643341879464989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6993815500672701308.post-76136934870183475132016-09-27T08:55:53.069-06:002016-09-27T08:55:53.069-06:00Speeder is always a challenge for me.

Now, zero is pretty much where I draw the line. I can definitely see where mud would get really old. As would the same route all the time. Thanks for linking up!
