re-frame

i need to re-frame my attitude today...

had a bad run again...it feels like every run these days is a bad one...and i feel like i am making excuses...but here is why today was a bad run...

ate very little friday...and even less saturday...got up to run feeling ok...but totally not 100%...packed up gels and nuun water for the duration...supposed to be getting in 18-19...had a good route mapped out...

ran from home down to the trail...i was giving my self a rest on the pace due to stomach issues...but when i got down to the trail i was running really slow...i had no energy...shortened the loop i had wanted to do to catch the group like i had planned...tried to eat a gel with no luck...it did not stay down...

met the group but decided that the 8 on the road was not in the cards for me today...i was literally running on empty...so i ran/walked home...each time i ran my stomach would churn...yeah not good...so it was slow going

i am really frustrated that my goal is now totally out of reach...i'm trying to re-frame and be positive...and think about running the marathon just for fun...to enjoy it and not be so darn serious about it...but at present i am having a hard time with that...maybe like amy says about a bad race...you get 24 hours to pout then you have to move on...does it count for an out of reach goal?

j is off to whole foods to get me some ginger ale and some other easy on the tummy items...i am very grateful...
