Update on 3/12/13:
As you see I stopped tracking my training and HMs in April and you don't see much happening after that. I actually went into another severe, deep depression that began in March 2012 and lasted pretty much through the end of the year. By August I was just so tired of being sick and tired that I went totally unprepared and ran the two races in Utah and Nevada which turned out to be not such a great idea because I was totally unprepared. I finished them both but not feeling good about the races (ended up walking the last 4 miles or so in Utah and walking the last 6 miles in Nevada) nor feeling good about myself. I didn't run again until October in Kansas...feeling slightly better mentally but again having a rough time of it, hitting an emotional low before and after the race (before I even left Wichita) due to some weird circumstances. Then ending up injured for 4 weeks thereafter and on crutches with no weight bearing on my right foot due a nerve injury incurred during the Wichita race. The last time I ran in 2012 was the WDW Wine & Dine in November where I felt pretty good for most of the race but was just so worn out afterwards due to lack of training (just came off the crutches the day before the race) that I didn't truly enjoy myself. After that race I tried to run a few times but suffered some debilitating shin splints that I didn't resume running again until January 2013.
