Sunday's long run was a struggle this week. I was planning on doing 18 miles, but I cracked around mile 10. My foot ached, I was tired and really didn't want anymore to do with running. I turned around and headed back.
The last 3 miles were pathetic. I just wanted to whole thing over with. But it's less than 5 weeks til marathon number 4, I need a good slap to refocus. This is why I registered for marathon number 4 in January, because if I left it til now there is no chance in hell I would be doing it.
I registered, so I am going to do it! Damn it.
After disastrous run, I went to my parents for dinner, yum yum. Have a session tonight with evil pt, this should help workoff all the delicious easter treats I over indulged in!
Considering you have been sick, you just ran a great race a couple weekends back and you've missed a few runs and I don't know about where you are but the weather has been less than perfect lately...I'm pretty sure we are close Geographically.
Last weekends long run for me was terrible, this week though was incredible.
You can do it!
some days are just rough when you do long runs and you just have to roll with it completing what you can. take care and make sure you replenishing your energy properly.
