Last weekend's long run? Not so much.
One - I didn't get around to running on Sunday. Not a huge deal; I ran on Monday after work instead. (Truth be told, I was pretty hungover on Saturday and really didn't feel like doing anything the next day either. But - that's just between us. Don't go around telling everyone.)
Two - it was just, well ... bad. On the schedule: 26 km. I was exhausted and not feeling it, at all. I nearly cried at about 13 km, and then again at 19 km. It was all I could do to just keep putting one foot in front of the other.

In running, there will be good days and, inevitably, bad ones too. But as John Stanton of the Running Room says: "Runners are often limited more by their confidence than by their physical abilities."
Keep on running!
I can't believe you went to work all day and then ran a half marathon after! I'm amazed at how easily and quickly (although after Monday's run you may disagree with my perspective on things) you've picked it all up again. I don't know how you do it, you're amazing!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks!! It definitely doesn't feel easy (especially on days like this one!) but having a goal to work towards definitely helps. Hopefully the next long run will be more fun!
