I have had the same difficulties with injuries and bad runs. The last time I really, truly enjoyed running was in 2015 while training for my marathon. The new distances were exciting and the feeling of accomplishment was exhilarating and I haven't had that since. Sadly, there are no new distances for me, I don't plan to run more than 26.2 miles, but maybe if this weather will cooperate I'll get to enjoy it a little more. I love running, I just need to remind myself of that. :-) Cathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04996781899131093750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20595227.post-57031616622509843312017-04-12T20:40:42.677-05:002017-04-12T20:40:42.677-05:00I almost exclusively run on trails now or dirt roa...I almost exclusively run on trails now or dirt roads. It's easier on the joints and just more interesting. Now when I have to run on roads I feel bored, tired, and annoyed.

I wish you had a running buddy or group - I bet you'd ratch up your enjoyment even more.Shelleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05890227462052573887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20595227.post-19815603483062268082017-04-12T12:15:44.406-05:002017-04-12T12:15:44.406-05:00I am feeling the same feelings - why can't I g...I am feeling the same feelings - why can't I get back to where I was in terms of my running. I used to look forward to my long run all week long. Now, it seems like such a chore. Part of it is because of the weight-gain running is harder. But a lot of it is because for the last year I haven't been able to leave my To Do list at home when I go out for a run. I NEED to get back to where I was because I really did love to run.jesseybellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06058891441606968579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20595227.post-19089284977389467462017-04-12T12:04:07.697-05:002017-04-12T12:04:07.697-05:00Loved this post.
