Sometimes when I am fatigued I get quite overwhelmed by the goal I have set for myself.  My running last week was a real mixed bag.  I ran on Tuesday morning with Doug to his work 5.3kms away.  I ran hard (coz I had a point to prove and was being stubborn - hmph that doesn't sound like me!) and was very tired running back home.  Then on Thursday I did the Randburg Harriers time trial - 8km.  I ran that hard and finished in 46.29.  I was so chuffed with myself - losing 1.30 minutes from the previous time.  The pizza and savanna afterwards were absolutely well deserved.  When I ran on Saturday I was really tired and battled with the 13kms.  We had a dinner party on Saturday night so I was very apprehensive about the run on Sunday - I was supposed to do 16kms.  I thought I would just get out and put one poetjie in front of the other and aim for 10.  Well I got stronger and stronger and finished really strongly on 15.7kms.
The motivation this week is not very strong - will have to dig deeper to reach it....
