Tick-Tock...

Time has become a shortage around the Peacock home lately and by the way things are going it doesn't look like we will be gaining any extra minutes to our busy days either. Due to the challenge of finding actual time blocks to go and run for literally hours, we have decided to settle for the San Antonio Half Marathon. We are definitley disappointed that we aren't doing the full, but we truly just don't have the time to train nor do we prefer running after 9:00 at night...it's way to dark!

On the other hand, this has relieved us of some stress. With marathon day approaching and us struggling to get our mileage in we were beginning to feel discouraged at ourselves for not running enough. Now that our race is cut in half our normal runs are cut in half, which leaves us with good, day-lit times to get our runs in. So yeah for cutting the work load in half!

Runner's Slump

The past couple of weeks Matt and I have been battling The Slump. It was awful! We were tired, bored with running, not feeling well, busy, and just unmotivated. I must say we are not big fans of "slumps" of any shape or size. But the good news is I think we are out of it! Yeah! We ran 9 yesterday (which is considered a long run due to our lack of mileage) and felt really great! All I can say is battle battle hard through the "slumps".
