The weather cooling off helps -- it was almost in the 60s this morning!!!

I'm getting back into training for wdw 2016 and yes, it does feel like I am starting over. I am actually looking forward to another break after the marathon but I am worried how to balance "breaks" and still staying fit enough to run a few races per year.

Sometimes a break can do WONDERS for us, physically and mentally, but I've been there...that feeling of "starting all over again" can be really discouraging at first. I've taken my fair share of running hiatuses along the way, too. I know your runs feel tough now, but I'll bet your body bounces back faster than you think...it usually takes me just a week or two to start feeling like I'm a "runner" again. Plus, W&D is pretty much the best race EVER, so it'll all be worth it! :)Jennifer L. Nelsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11842730736717092549noreply@blogger.com
