Feeling fatigued today. Less than 24 hours between this run and my last run. I know for some that isn't a big deal, but I'm not quite to that level yet. Today's run wasn't hard physically, but it was a challenge mentally. I think the whole "find the zen" in running idea is apt. I've got to train my mind to deal with the fatigue every bit as much as I've got to train my body. I read the other day that the hardest part of a 100 mile run is the mental aspect of the last 50 miles. I'm not planning on doing one of those soon, but I think the biggest barrier to my being able to run a sub 8 min mile half in a couple months is going to be the mental aspect as well. If I can train myself to not talk myself out of pushing hard, or putting in the miles, or just enduring, then maybe I can reach the next level. I tried to make the run interesting by taking the legacy parkway trail, but that trail is not interesting. I saw some friendly people out there today, always a nice aspect of running on saturday. |
