Not even close. But the feeling of it is <I>important</I>. Acknowledging the emotions is important. Burying the feelings usually finds them bubbling up another time when you least expect it with more power than they had in the first place. Take solace in the fact that you have friends and family who understand, and will help you move through it.

Last week I was in a complete and total funk...then I had an awesome training weekend. The main difference? A little social contact and meeting my own expectations.

I'd be down, too.<BR/><BR/>The good news is that it is a finite problem. I totally agree with the go to the movies plan (and do not substitute drink heavily with buddies for that - alcohol will just depress you more) and have some fun.

In fact, now that you are alone, you should probably you your blog to do just that: just to report your training and others can say good job that you are working so hard.

Sometimes I remember that and sometimes I don't and sometimes I don't want them to know I missed them so badly. When you're training for endurance, it's hard not to focus on stuff like that because you've got lots of time to think. Just be sure and remember this feeling when the noise and chaos are driving you crazy next month :)Saschahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14753671246115554231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24683651.post-32464734844513728892007-07-30T00:39:00.000-05:002007-07-30T00:39:00.000-05:00I've heard this from Baboo, too, that he hates bei...I've heard this from Baboo, too, that he hates being alone...It's funny, sometimes in the midst of family chaos, I fantasize about it, but then when I'm alone for a day or so because of cercumstances, I'm not quite sure what to do with myself.Herself, the GeekGirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17990186920123895227noreply@blogger.com
