6.25 miles easy in South Weber. I got home late last night from my work trip and it was a tough week of running in Ohio! Good to be home. I've felt pretty sore, fatigued, and tired all week from the half last weekend. Add to that the two-hour time change (running at 3:00 am MST) and the hottest, most humid week they've had all year back there and it turned out to just be a flat week.
I planned on hitting 85 miles this week, but there's no way that was going to happen. Every morning (and afternoon) that I left the hotel to run, I always turned back earlier than planned soaked, tired, and with no energy. Yesterday's Aerobic Builder was a disgrace. So, I gave in and decided this would be an easy/recovery week.
Tomorrow's race could be either really bad if I still feel like blah. Or it could be really good with all the 7:30+ paced miles I've trudged through this week. I guess we'll see tomorrow.
On the positive side, my weigh in this morning was really good. Usually after work trips (or any trip) I come home up on weight for a few days, but it was down this time. So, the nutrition changes are helping. |
