stressed over running

So is there such thing as hitting a wall during training?? I've felt really stressed out about my running lately. It feels like a chore and I hate that feeling. I think I'm too stressed out about failing at my goal again that I'm overwhelming myself . I haven't been making my weekly runs , that I KNOW are so necessary for my Saturday long runs.

I need to get over this feeling ,and I need to get over it quick because I have 53 days: 11hours : 21 minutes : 10seconds

until the Long Beach Marathon. That means my weekly runs are so important and essential for my long runs.

so for my marathon runners out there .... fill me in. How do you motivate yourself to go run?? How do you make sure you go out for your run?? How do you work on your speed?? and How do you make sure you're not stressing over something you love so much?? I need help !!

I have a lot of support and motivation....thanks to my friends that have come out on Saturday mornings to run with me and for all the words of encouragement. With that said , I have a plan in motion to help me complete this goal... I'm recruiting 5 runners (or more) ,4 to run 5 miles and 1 to run the last 6 miles of the marathon with me . I have several people already on board and I'm excited and can't wait to run side by side with you (you all know who you are) :) I love you my friends !! So let me know if you're interested ,if we haven't spoken about it already!

I'm ready to continue training, and go at it harder,and become stronger in 53 days !!
