Not a good weekend. I just had no energy, and I had a tension headache the entire time. I had plans to do a long run but instead I got stuck on the Couch of Doom. I don’t know. I suppose it’s easy to try to justify it by claiming I was overtraining and needed the break, but to be honest, I think it was just lethargy, dehydration, and laziness.
Week 12 distance (SICK): 6mi (10km)
Week 13 distance (SICK): 12mi (20km)
Week 14 distance (LAZY): 7.5mi (12km)
I went out for a run this morning to try to get back on track… and I still felt sluggish. Maybe I stretched out my preparations too long. Maybe I peaked too early. Maybe I’m just getting bored waiting for Race Weekend to finally arrive. I just haven’t had any great-feeling runs for several weeks now, and it’s hard to get inspired to get back out there.
