I really dreaded having to write this up today. I don't know what to say except that it just did not workout the way I thought it would today. I did learn some things about my physiology however that is really making me wonder if maybe I should just hang up the racing shoes and focus on other areas in my life. I don't want to write anything to lengthy today and besides I'm just not in the mood to elaborate or create excuses for myself. It would just further enlarge the problem and make me feel all the more disillusioned. So in a nutshell it was like this; I never really felt strong from the start however about the time I started taking gels after mile 7 I felt very strong up until mile 17. For some reason I just could not control the wild swings in blood sugar levels I was feeling and to top off all of that my hip was bothering me and my achilles tendon was stinging me. Jeez! what else could go wrong I thought to my self! Definitely not healthy in so many way ways. You know I'm feeling old, frustrated, and just plain broken down... I have trained at my limit in the past 3 months and perhaps past it also. I don't know if thats the problem or perhaps a combination of things however I do have my suspicions concerning the blood sugar issue. What to do? I just don't know at this point. Right now I'm just feeling sheer frustration:(
