Woah! Not into the running thing today. Could barely get myself moving as I stepped out the door, and proceeded to shuffle through 2 really slow miles before throwing in the towel. Not feeling it, just felt tired and sluggish, and mentally not into it. I can't remember the last time I felt that about running. I think I'll go run again 4-5 miles easy on Wednesday and otherwise spend my time on core work and yoga this week until the 50K this weekend. I'm looking forward to the week off of running actually, after the past 2 weeks of bigger, longer trail runs every other day. I can tell I'm still recovering from that. And I just want to feel completely fresh this weekend so I can fully enjoy all 31 miles of the race through the mountains. I did an hour of core synergistics this morning after the pathetic attempt at a run, and that was just what I needed. It felt great. I hadn't done any core work or p90X for the past 2 weeks because I was running so much more, and I can really feel the benefit of it in my glutes, hams, and core. |
