I Woke up at 4:00am and headed out the door, in the few years that I have been running I have had some bad day's but nothing compares to the way I felt this morning. I started feeling okay the first couple of miles but after mile 3 things started to go down hill, my legs where just feeling like jelly, like they had no strength. I know I didn't start to fast because my first mile split was 9:10 with my heart rate was at 130 so I was taking it easy, but man were my legs gone. It was sure determination that I was able to finish the run, I had planned on running 12 to 13 miles but after mile three I new that wasn't going to happen. The last two miles were done in 10:30 minute miles, my wife could of given me a run for my money today, I still have not recovered and it is 10:45pm at night. I thought that maybe I didn't get enough sleep last night, I think 4 to 5 hours was about it, and all week I have felt kind of sluggish and out of it, and as I am writting this I am wiped out.
I am concerned about my throat, it is really hurting. I am suppose to see the doctor on Wednesday so hopefully I can get things figured out so I can start feeling better, well that's my prayer anyway. I have the riverwoods 10 miler coming up a week from today and I sure hope and pray that I am feeling better than I am now, and I mean that sincerely.
