week of 11/15

I can't figure it out and its really beginning to frustrate me. What do I need to do mentally to get myself into shape. What kind of shape do I even want to get into? I took an even lighter week than the past few and opted to start going to the gym. There I can do some cardio, and lift some weights and have a considerably low intensity low stress workout. I don't know why buy I find going to the gym a lot less mentally stressful than running the streets for half as much time.

Does anyone else ever feel the same?

Last two weeks

Total Miles: 40
Spent the last two weeks just back at my default of about 20 miles/week. Grad school is easy... but I just don't really feel the desire to train hard right now. I wish i did, and I know it sounds depressing, but without a goal/inspiration its just difficult to train. Goose called me about a possible alumni XC meet, hopefully this will get me training harder so I can run maybe around a 28:30 on the arroyo course.
