After looking back over the last couple of I noticed that I had a lot of nights with less sleep than normal and wondered if that is contributing to the tiredness I have during my last few runs. I decided to sleep in today and see if that helped. I got a good nights sleep but was out later than normal so had to deal with hotter weather (75, humid). I felt better starting out today but then got a side stitch that stayed with me pretty during the whole run. It was just enough to be annoying. I added in 8 x 100m strides at the end and then ran 1 mile with my daughter after I got back. She is starting to get ready for CC this fall. She will be in 6th grade and this is the first chance to run for her school. So far she is doing pretty good but will have to see if she will stick with it. She is very involved in soccer so have to see if she can handle both time wise.
8 mile: 65:52
1 mile with daughter: 10:45 |
