In a funk

Lately I've been in a funk and haven't been able to get out and go run.  My wifey and I have been able to make a few trips down to Moab where we've done some hikes, and we also ran to Delicate Arch together.

I figured that the best way to commit to something is to throw money at it.  That's the whole idea behind an engagement.  If you throw lots of money towards a wedding ring you have to make sure you're committed at that point.  So, I threw money towards a race, now I've got to commit.  I've signed up for the San Juan Solstice 50 miler.

After signing up for the lottery, I had hopes that I wouldn't get accepted.  I looked into the run more, after signing up and found out how crazy this one is.  I felt that I have jumped the gun and that I am now over my head in this race.  A week later they released the results of those accepted, and my stomach dropped when I saw my name on the entrants list.  Now I'm screwed...

I haven't completed a real run in three weeks and my first real training week starts on Monday, a 37 mile week.  It's time to get out of my funk and start running again.
