Marathon Training: Good Days and Bad Days

Today was a bad day. Not bad all around, just a bad training day. I ran five miles and it was awful. Good grief! The whole 5 miles was completely miserable.  I didn't even really enjoy my post run breakfast and iced coffee, and that's the whole reason I run! The only redeeming factor was that I finished what I set out to do.
Yesterday, I ran 9 miles and felt fantastic the whole way. Today, I ran 5 and I totally bombed. I know some days are good and some days are bad, but today I just kept thinking 'this totally sucks!'.

It's days like today that I need a little reminder about why I am doing this. Plain and simple, I love running. I love the good runs, the bad runs, and everything in between. I love my running life!
