That happened to me on Sunday and I gave up on mile 10, instead of finishing my 17 miles. I was disappointed, but I try to forget it. I’ll focus this week on my 18 mile long run. This will be my 4th marathon and have done it before. The mind plays some tricks!

How come its always the mind that’s the most difficult part? It’s like that with everything.
Great job on your long run!

I have totally noticed that as I get older, I’m becoming more of a wimp when it comes to running outside. If its cold or wet, Im not as resilient as I once was.

My mind has taken over lately too – something about this fall air though that sort of wakes you up. Maybe it’s the chill, or just the exit of “lazy” summer days… either way, today was a better day for sure and I’m going to enjoy the upward swing while it lasts

Thanks for the post – always good to know you’re not alone in the mind battles!

Ohh I needed your words today my friend! That’s exactly what I saw loud and clear on our disastrous 20 miler on Saturday. My MIND was killing me, not my body. My MIND was casting doubts, not my body. I need to remember this and trust my body more, ignoring that self-doubt creeper who likes to pop up at the most inopportune of times. How rude, right?

Mind over matter. I think you’re so far into your training program that this is bound to happen.

You still did it, rejoice, that’s amazing.

The little chimp in your head is your biggest opponent. You can do this!
