Not a Good Day

This morning I left the house with the 'bendy legs'... Sunday's have replaced Wednesday's now as my 'most dreaded day of the week', I wake up with that sense of foreboding. I'm trying to think of it more as a total number of miles that have to be covered over the next 2 weeks and that every step is just a little bit closer to lazy'ish Sunday's again. This morning though, no amount of psychoanalysis was going to make the 13 miles I was going for any easier. I instantly reduced it to 10 miles but that didn't help either. I didn't realise it was windy today until I was a couple of yards up the road, immediately my ears hurt, then my head was pounding, then I felt sick. At just over 1/2 a mile I was walking and just passed the mile mark I was headed home!

What a disaster...

Not too sure what's wrong or if they are all just excuses but I'm not feeling great. One other thing I have learned about this running business is that, passed a certain age, you take the past week out with you on your long runs. I think, if I'm totally honest that at a certain age and if you're me, working full time and having other family responsibilities, running any kind of distance is just not going to be easy.

I think it will be an early night tonight and hopefully the week ahead will be a little more positive.
