Bit of a shocker this morning. I work up feeling a bit tired and lethargic. Then I opened the door to leg the dog out and it was pretty disgusting out. 77 degrees and 87% humidity = bloody awful. I took my running belt as I knew I’d need lots of fluids, but I just couldn’t get going. It was supposed to be 2 mile warm up, miles at MGP, then a 1 mile cool down. It became 6 ¼ miles of agonizingly slow miles. However, the positive is that I kept moving when all the time my legs were saying stop, go home, go back to bed. I’ll carry hat with me on race day….knowing that I can push through. However, I also hope that I’m not running 9 minute miles at the end of the marathon ;o). Fingers crossed for tomorrow. |
