Post Race Slump

This always happens to me when I do a really big race.  I train and train and take it so seriously but then when it's over I really slack off.  Even if I promise myself I wont.  Sometimes I manages to keep it up for the first week or two after the race but something comes up.  This time to be honest I really think it was the change in my husbands employment situation.  I used to be able to run many days after Erena went to bed now I have to stay in the house.  I do the stationary bike but it just isn't as good.  And I'm tired.  And it's cold and and and. . . . a lot of excuses that are valid to semi-valid. I think the ton of ice on the roads last week was pretty valid.
But I have to get myself back in gear and back on the road because not only am I loosing fitness I'm gaining back the weight that was so hard to loose.  Not a lot yet but it could easily become a lot.  So I fired up Zombie Run 5 K this week and hit the road again.  I am well past the 5 K stage of training but I like the story elements and the planned out program.  Instead of walking and running I run and run faster which seems to be working pretty well so far.  I have done the first 4 workouts and I think I've earned cleans sheets a backpack and a bloody knife in the game.  So wish me luck on keeping it up.
