This is my blog which features thoughts about my resurgent running career. The purposes of this blog are to keep me accountable in my efforts to return to running after an extended layoff and to hopefully provide a few tidbits to help others do the same. I've gone from couch to 5k and beyond. I'm striving to be a truly good runner. Not there yet, but it's a start!

It Ain't Got No Gas In It
I've had a couple runs since my race, but nothing which dignifies embedding the runs at all. Ran Monday morning and had a decent, easy mid-distance run. Ran again tonight (even though I said no evening runs) and it was quite forgettable. I was just tired and had no energy. My legs didn't hurt or anything, but they just didn't want to move. I didn't even move fast enough to breathe very hard. I was just outta gas I guess.
This week has been busy at home and a bit stressful at work, so the sub-par outing tonight was no surprise. I would have liked to get up early and go, but due to family activities, I didn't get in bed early enough to even think about getting up early.
Looking forward to going to camp this weekend with Lil' J. We should have a great time and I plan to run in the morning when I get up. The camp is the site of a 5k run later this year, so I plan to run the course over and over. Will do a long run most likely on Saturday. I don't know that I can go more than 8.5 mi then have a full day of camp fun, but 6 or so sounds about right.

Hey Josh, way to stick with it. We all have good days and bad days, don't get discouraged.
ReplyDeleteThanks Matt! I'm not discouraged. If anything, I think I understand better why I have many of my "bad days". Take care!
