Post holiday blues and doubts

After a fantastic time away in a place that still feels so much like home I have hit a real low, physical and mental. I have felt lethargic and just low on energy. Maybe it's the travel and adjustment back to the cold. Either way it doesn't warrant well for training for 100 miles. I have been questioning whether it is a good idea to do the event, if I am up for it and so on. But then, after speaking to my wise husband, I realise that I feel freaked out and overwhelmed at trying to pick up where I left off with training. So I am going to try taking the pressure off and remember why I entered the event in the first place...getting out running in the mountains, preferably with others. So i am not going to focus on how many miles, meters of ascent or hours I have to put in and just get out for runs, short or long, low or high and get back to looking forward to and enjoying being out. With that I am sure the miles will be done and i will get the motivation to do some hills in.
I started today with a  great run out, nice and steady around Crummock and Buttermere with a friend and had a great time :)
