I am tired, beat down tired.
Following Saturdays all out race I have completed 3 additional runs. The cumulative effect has me moaning and groaning but not very sore.... just tired.
Monday
13 miles of progression type running. This one moved from very easy to aerobic threshold.
Tuesday
Feeling a little tired I back off and completed a long 9 miles at a relaxed effort... still I was feeling the fatigue coming on pretty strong.
Wednesday
The plan was to run 10 miles at whatever kind of pace I felt like running at the given moment. It turned out to be 6.5 in 39 minutes. At which point I was ready to have the dirt shovelled on top of me for a long sleep. Fortunately I still had 4 miles to run in order to get back to the car. I moseyed along step by step and reached the promise land in 26 minutes... slogging it. Nice to know that even on the most fatigued days I am still carrying some momentum in my stride.
Super-Compensation
This could go in a lot of directions, but here I am just talking about rest. Tomorrow I will come home early and not run a step. The time with the family will do me well (and I have a Pre-Calc test on Friday). Wish me luck, I DO need it!!!
Good Luck!! You'll do great with your exam!

Hi Sean,
ReplyDeleteYou should be tired...you have been going all gang busters for some time now:) I am glad that you are taking tomorrow off...you deserve it! Good luck on your Pre-Calc test! Yuck....I am not good at anything math:( Happy St. Patty's Day!
Yikes, math. Ick. Good luck with that. Seriously.
ReplyDeleteRest well. It's what makes us stronger. And makes our families let us stick around :)
ReplyDeleteI love calculus! I'll send some good vibes.
Rest up! Sounds like you need it. Hopefully you'll be rarin' to go afterwards.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the test today.
ReplyDeleteDon't sweat the running too much. Your body is begging for a breather. Give it what it wants and you will probably be over-joyed with the results after the rest.
