My running continues to be problematic. So, here is what I have done to exacerbate it. I mean, help it. I joined the Trail Runner/Strava 100 mile Challenge. You are supposed to run 100 miles (as many as possible on trails) between September 1 and September 16. I know there is no way I can run that many miles in that time, much less on trails, but hopefully that will provide a little motivation beyond what I seem to have at the moment.
I did run this morning. 5.88 miles from home to Marston's Restaurant in Pasadena. I won't say how long it took me, but I finished. I haven't done a run/walk program in a while, but I think I will re-start one. That might help. The problem might be that I am over-estimating my capabilities. I kind of don't think so because in the recent past I ran 9 miles to Dish Restaurant in La Canada and lived to tell about it. The subsequent three times I tried that exact same run have not worked out so well. But the fact remains I am not getting these "long" runs done and so I need to back up a little. The Nike Women's Half Marathon is in 48 days. No pressure.
