After taking 8 days off since my half I did 5 today outside...I thought I would feel refreshed after taking a long break, but it was hard!! What is going on?? My pace was only 7:20 pace and you would've thought I was running 6:30 pace..I know for me that running and preparing for a race takes alot out of me mentally and physically...(even though I didn't have a great race-and it was only a half-I think it still wore me out mentally, emotionally, physically) ect. I will plan on easing into hard training for the Utah Valley Marathon which is mid June...I think I will also get my iron checked-bc I was low often in college and haven't been checked since...Anyhoo-hopefully I will start to feel better and I can start training hard for the marathon....I feel like my body has been felt physically "off" for about the past 2 months..I know I was still running decently fast training times-but I would come away from hard workouts feeling absolutely spent-not stong like last fall when I was training for St George..I am normally very positive and love the challenge and thrive off of pushing myself during training...It makes me happy and gives me a "high"-Right now I am definitely not feeling that way..Has anyone else ever felt this way at times? If so-what did you do? Sorry to be so negative--but this is how I feel right now..
