This week has been a terrible week for marathon training. After finishing residency interviews, I have returned to real life at the hospital. As a fourth year medical student who is desperate for graduation day, I have lost my motivation for many things, and running seems to have suffered with it this week. I’m making an effort to locate running groups in order to keep the runs less lonely. It’s so difficult to complete a long run without company sometimes.
I have just stocked my fridge with plenty of fresh fruits, vegetables, boneless chicken, whole grain breads – and I am ready for a long run this weekend.
Bonus: Two weeks from today, I will know where I will be running for the next four years: either Seattle, New York, or New Orleans.
