Too much

Too much other activities than running have been going on lately. After staying a week in San Antonio we moved to a temporary housing (for the next 3.5 months to get away from pipe repair and kitchen renovation taking place at our home), I faced enormous work load and almost lost the touch with running. That's the reason for the absence from blogging, too.

Today I had a time slot for 20x200m'200m jog rest. I ran it on track instead of road and I was rollin'. The last three weeks have looked something like this:

Plan/execution:
M: Off
T: Easy / Ez 9 miles
W: 12-16 x 400m with 200m jog in sets of four at half marathon, 10K, 5K and 3K race pace / 16x400m'200m jog rest
T: Easy / Ez
F: Tempo run 15km @ MP and 25 hours of traveling to San Antonio / 15 km tempo run @ subMP
S: Off (got stuck in Chicago etc.) / Off
S: Long run 13-16 miles / Due to jet lack and harsh weather only 7 miles of which 6 was too much
M: Easy / Off
T: Easy / Easy
W: 8-10xYasso800s / Hah. No way that was going to happen => Easy
T: Off / Off, 25hrs of traveling
F: Easy / Easy, almost forgot to run
S: Race 14 km / WU+12.5 miles tempo run @ MP
S: Long run 13 miles / Easy

And then plan for this week
M: Off
T: Easy
W: Easy
T: 20x200m'200m
F: Easy or moderate long run
S: Easy
S: Tempo run 12.5 miles

And then a disturbing confession: Mentally I'm not at all ready for Berlin. Any suggestions how to fix that?
