Doing De'Funk

Maybe it was all the rain and flooding we had.

Maybe it was all the extra non-running activities of the week.

Whatever it was Saturday I felt like I had poured glue on my a** because it was stuck to the livingroom chair most of the day.

I call this a FUNK.

This sometimes happens to me when the kids are not around as this past Saturday they went with Hubbs for some Daddy child bonding AND I was attempting to limit my miles and effort with my next Ultra 5 days away.  I just don't function very well while I am in a FUNK.

I tried to tell myself that my legs, hips and feet would appreciate the rest and I would perform better in my next race BUT the mind is a powerful thing.

And habit, to the tune of 309 days is a crazy creature

  I thought about all kinds of random things to help the time pass the time.

I thought about:

screens

warm treadmill smells

  Pendant Lighting

puzzles

electricity

pillows

legos

lint

gardening

raking

dog poo

mud

farming

tractors

haybales

barns

family

cookouts

marshmallows

situps

dvds

movies

of course that just brought me back to thinking about what I was trying to NOT think about...

Running

I survived Saturday with only 3 miles.

Luckily I made a full FUNK recovery on Sunday with a great new attitude and 8 miles.

This morning Day #309 I enjoy 3 miles to help start my day off right. 

Five days until the HAT Run.

Tomorrow we'll talk about goals, the difference a technical course can make, and the joys of being FUNK-free.

How do you survive being in a FUNK?
