A clydesdale no more!

Absolutely no energy today.  Cut the run a little short because I just wasn't feeling it.  Felt the same way at the gym yesterday.  My weight dropped a few pounds over the weekend so I'm guessing that I am very dehydrated which is what is causing the lack of energy. 

Crossfit:  All arms today mixed in with 3 six minute runs (cycle 1: dumb bell hammer curls, dumb bell shoulder presses, bar presses; cycle 3: TRX curls, TRX T's, TRX tricep presses; cycle 5: band curls, band rows, band presses).  While it was a workout, it was not nearly as hard as some of the other days.  I feel kind of dumb struggling through all of the regular exercises then blasting through the runs. 

Started out with a couple of sluggish miles then picked it up.  Last 5 felt very good. I realized that running 2 races in one week after not racing in a year took more of a toll on me than I anticipated. 

Got a little later start than I planned and knew the heat could potentially be an issue.  My plan was to enjoy a Garminless 17 miler.  Didn't care what the pace was.  Just wanted to get in some miles.  First 2 miles to the LPT were a bit clunky but then was able run a little smoother once I hit the trail.  As I hit the turn around point and the wind was no longer blowing into my face, I realized how warm it was.  Got to mile 11 and realized how thirsty I was and took my last swig of Gatorade.  Got to 15 and felt fine so decided if I could make it 1.5 miles more to the park with the water fountain, I could get to 19 for the day.  Actually felt good for much of the run.  Not sure what kind of person puts in a 19 mile run with no race on the horizon.
