10.5 with Jen in Salem + strides, 7:24 pace.
Jen gave me a good pep talk this morning and talked me off of my downward spiraling ledge. Thank goodness for her for helping me to see the bigger picture and realize that this funk/sub-par streak of performances will pass as long as I stay consistent. She reminded me of when she went through a similar funk last Summer and how she see's it in her track/XC runners often. As long as I'm not injured or overtraining which I don't think I am I should come out of it. I just need to focus on my mental game and stay consistent. I'm going to get some routine blood work done this week just to rule out anything major being off.
PM: 3 miles easy on SF river trail, 8:14 pace
