nice, what race are you doing? there are so many great options for fall half marathons in new england
felt really good this morning, i did 17 at a modest 940 avg pace. felt like i could have kept going
need to get stricter at doing more tempo/speed workouts throughout the week

I give myself a couple of minutes of rest while walking and then start up again, but I'm no where near what I'm used to. I don't know if it's physical or mental, or both.

i just went through this phase as well. after my race in March, i got lazy. i did 4 mile runs a couple times throughout the week but i had trouble motivating myself to do more. it seemed really out of character for me. i wasn't injured or anything, just didn't have the mental energy.. even when i knew the chicago marathon training was approaching
but i had signed up for a running camp last winter that was in june, just a 4 day event. really got me back on track (lol). being around so many females that were passionate about running and all of the chit chat made me fall in love with it again. if signing up for a race won't motivate you, try joining a running club and go to one of the weekly runs/workouts
