Thanks for giving insights on your therapy sessions. It's been a long time since I wrote with a therapist myself but I also remember it being very annoying to do all the talking haha. But it worked. Silence can be a massive icebreaker. And regarding your training: In weeks where you're sick try to focus on the other things you need to master during the race. Test nutrition, create recipes, check your gear, do a walk in the park with your headlamp... It might help to stay connected to the race, even when you're not running.
oof as a parent of a child who also seems to be getting hit especially hard this season w a new virus every week i’ve also been (literally) running on empty and can commiserate with the frustration and exhaustion (mental and physical) this brings on. hopefully with spring around the corner there’s relief on the horizon. good luck with your training!

Thanks for your open words and your hints what to do, when I'm sick. I'll try it out!

Spring is also my hope on the horizon. Fingers crossed and stay strong!
