Ok moving right along....um, slowly.  I think the pressure of training for SG is part of the problem.  From now on, I will focus on Spring and Summer marathons only (maybe Ogden and Park City, or TOU).  It's just too hard to balance the hardcore training once the Fall schedules and reduced a.m. daylight kick in.  I don't have the emotional or physical energy to spare once Summer is over.  Sunday was a restful day for me.  After feeling more mentally and physically rested. I went to a good friend's birthday party in the Avenues.  In attendance was a group of girls I lived in Spain and trapsed around Europe with for a year. One of us was missing because she was attending Burning Man.  So by the end of the night we made a pledge that next year at this time we would all be at Burning Man.  Just the idea of it gave me a little something extra.  So I'm good for today.

Burning Man?!!! That sounds interesting! What is it? So glad you had a restful Sunday and able to get together with some friends.

I hear ya on the pressure of training and the Fall schedule changes. I love to run but get sick (literally) of the training. No worries, just enjoy your running, take one day at a time and be kind to yourself. Have a great week doing what you love!

Glad you are feeling a bit better emotionally.
