At that point in my running

So I'm at the point in my training where I ask myself... 'self, why did you sign up for this?'

I've had allergy/cold symptoms for a week and a half and I think it's the main cause of my lack of enthusiasm.  Also the development of a blister on my toe has caused some reservations.

I think I am back on the good side of the hill (of dislike), I expect to enjoy my exercise this week.

I just can't look too far ahead.  8.4 miles felt like undoable, yet I did... and the soreness should be gone tomorrow.  If I start thinking about 10 and 11 miles I really have a tough time...  That is nearing 2 hours of running which seems too long.  Alright choosing to not think about that until it comes.

Now if I can figure out how to banish this blister.  It doesn't really bother me, but it's not pretty and it's almost flip-flop season.  Also I am not convinced that it won't start hurting and start irritating me during runs.  Any advice?  It is on the tip of my second toe.

Now to choose thankfulness.  I am so thankful that I have to ability to run such long distances.  God has blessed me with health.  This is only the second cold (or allergy) battle I've had.  I haven't been throwing up sick and I can still run (just a little slower and easier then I would in normal health).  

I've committed to this, I will finish it if I can.
