weekly check-in

[ilanarama]

Happy Monday! Your inspirational quote for the day comes from Paavo Nurmi, who won 9 gold and 3 silver medals for Finland in middle- and long-distance running events in the 1920, 1924, and 1928 Olympics:

"Mind is everything: muscle--pieces of rubber. All that I am, I am because of my mind."

How was your week, and what do you have planned for this week? And what kind of mental games and tricks do you use to stay on track when running is hard?

My running week was extremely short - managed my usual Wednesday long run (9.8K), then dove headfirst into a choir festival that had me alternately singing, working the con space, and biking to and from the con space, so I wasn't entirely lazy seeing as it's about 10K from my house. But no further runs the rest of the week.

Will skip running today as well as the pollen count is literally off the scale (after the interminable winter and the rainiest May ever, the grasses are all going "MUST HAVE SEX NOW!!" this week) and I've already got my daily dose from biking to and from work. *sneeze*

I can't quibble with biking since that's pretty much all the exercise I've been able to do since my injury!

And I sympathize about the allergies. Mine improved greatly when I moved to the dry desert climate where I live now.
