Longing

I miss the track. I miss the feeling of flying, of freedom as i run, i miss the energy and the vibes of the track and the people around you. I miss the excitement, the nerves and the exhilaration after you have finished a race. It is part of me and of who i am, i miss the track.

I was on track, but Bali, Geraldton and a virus and i have lost it, i'm off track, but is it really too late to try get back on it again? Can i get the determination and discipline to use what time i have left and give the end of the season a go?? It's Thursday January 19th, i have just got back into running around 5km at a slower pace, my speed is virtually non-existent and i'm about to enter a busy time of uni up in Perth, but lets face it what isn't a busy time in uni up in Perth?? Most runners are putting the fine touches on their training to prepare to states, not trying to get fit. WA States are on the 16th of March which gives me 56 days/8 weeks exactly. They say it only takes 6 weeks to get back up your fitness... how ever much that may be! So maybe it is possible, maybe i still have a chance, but realistically i'm not sure how much fitness exactly i could get back. I need to look at my training times from last season and see how fast i got back into it. I started in 2010 in July and ran a fast 800m in September, that was 2 and a half months/11weeks. I could do it, i could be smart, i could plan out every session specifically to get the most out of training but be smart in terms of cross training, over doing it and injuries. I could do it.

Where there is a will, there is a way. I miss the track, i have a will, can i find a way??
