the malaise

Distance: 3.5 miles
Time: 35:15
Pace: 10:05/mile
Time of Day: 10:30 a.m.
Temperature: 66 degrees

Today I have the running malaise. I didn't run on Friday because of an ultimate frisbee tournament on Saturday, and I didn't run on Sunday because I felt like I got hit by a bus when I woke up. I felt the same way I did on one of my first runs in Cambridge--mentally discouraged and slow in spite of the cool weather and the fact that I've been running regularly all summer. Back in June 2007, a 2.5 mile bridge loop felt like a big deal; now that's barely a warmup on one of my long runs. I'm hoping that both the rain and this malaise go away soon.
