Hello friends, sorry for the silence on the blogging front. I have been continuing to read your posts, though!
Good news, my ankle feels real good and I expect to begin running within the week. I'm going to aim for Little Rock's marathon in March. I am just allowing my body to rest and recover. I am not one of those amazing folks that can keep running without recovery.
Over the years I've noticed that I tend to lose desire to run after I've run a marathon. The let down only lasts for a while. The call of the roads, and the "runners rewards" will motivate me again.
Hope you all had a great Thanksgiving! Merry Christmas!! Peace (on earth)

The recent HM had quite a level of difficulty. It is a very challenging course with some unreal gradients. No wonder the field was very smal...

Good news that your ankle is improving.
Like you, I also struggle with a lack of motivation after the marathon. This time of year certainly doesn't make it any easier - cold and dark all the time, not to mention BUSY with the holidays.
Looks like you have three months to get prepare for your next marathon. That's doable !!!
So good to read your ankle is getting better. Take your time and enjoy getting back to running.
I'm still on my after marathon low. Glad to hear the ankle is improving!
So glad that your ankle feels well and that you have set your sights on the marathon in March. Hope you are enjoying the holidays!
After I started running again and ran my first half-marathon, I was surprised at how my motivation dropped. I didn't start running to race and really enjoy running. Still, after focusing on the half for so long, the end of that was a bit of a let-down.
that seems to be a common syndrome, the lack of desire after a marathon. It must be the "I dont have to now so I won't" It'll come back to you, it always does
I feel ya. Something about having that goal really makes running easier. And hold us to the training.
Sorry about your friend :(. And a wedding the week before Christmas is nuts!! So glad your ankle is feeling better. yeah!! Happy Holidays!!!
