We have an important milestone and I could not find the time - and the energy to run today. It was my long run - fifth week - 10 miles. I will usually advocate that you should be able to find 2 hours in your day, and you should force yourself to take the time, you will see the benefits anyway. But getting to bed at midnight yesterday, getting up at 6AM today and dreaming about coding lines does not bring you peace and rest.
By the end of the month, the worst should be over and we should getting back to a normal rhythm and get some vacation time - yeah - but in the mean time, the clock is ticking. Crunchin' time, Baby !

Now, the fundamental question is to decide if you follow the rules you set for yourself. Stop arguing, and go to run. That's it. Or knowing that I have a couple of month between the official end of the training and the actual marathon - got some room to breath - you indulge yourself some flexibility.
Where do you start to slip ? How much can you skip ?
I think that's a fundamental question of balance and it applies to everything you do in life. You can try to set the rules and follow them at all cost. Usually, it won't work and you won't be happy. Or the opposite. Freedom without rules means boredom.
Complicated. Maybe tomorrow, I will find the time and the energy to do those 10 miles, and keep my schedule intact. Like we are trying so hard at work.
Clock is ticking.
