My running has taken a dramatic dip since July. I met my current GF in July and we have been seeing a lot of each other ever since. Things are going very well! I started running back in 2004 (never ran in HS or college). I have slowly worked my way up to the marathon, with my fastest time being 2:49 and ran the Boston Marathon last year in 2:52. I miss running but feel like I'm basically starting over again. When I go out for a run now it's hard to believe I ran a marathon in 2:49 at one time. I'm having a hard time letting running go. I feel that just putting in 4 or 5 miles a day is not worth it, but that is what I'm doing now to keep some level of fitness. I hate lifting weights! I've thought about cycling as that might be a new challenge. Anybody experience something similar? I guess I'm addicted to running and having withdraw symptoms!
