uughh, bad run
by mediocrejess on Aug.01, 2009, under fitness
it’s funny how on the weeks I have 9 or 10 mile long-runs, I do absolutely fine and really enjoy myself but then when I am offered the opportunity to pull back and do a simple 4 everything falls apart. well, it was muggy and hot today but what really make the run unpleasant was I ate way too close to when I ran. I felt like I had this alien in my stomach, heartburn, sluggish, blah. but i pushed through, it was a good mental endurance exercise. so yeah, pat–I still need to try the whole fartlek deal but think I will save that for Monday morning. I would have hurled today if I started sprinting. Oh! But one more thing!! I totally saw three black dudes riding legit horses around penn. ave, haha, they weren’t cops though–three guys with weird safari-type hats, cowboy chaps and regular T-shirts. it was the oddest, coolest thing I’ve seen in a while. tomorrow is yoga and stairclimber…

That happens tp me too! When I was training for the GW Parkway Classic, I would do a good 6 mile run and then do a 3 mile run that would totally suck.

Yeah that happens. You’ll get past the funk and be flying, verging on decent status, in no time. Keep the head up, rest, and get back on that horse
