Wow, take a few days off for about two weeks and you feel like your have just started over and I feel so out of shape!!! I ran a race this weekend, in the 98 degree heat! I ran a 5 miler, so slow.....I felt like stopping so badly. I ran about a 7:02 pace. Which is slow considering I did a 10 miler at 6:43 pace 3 weeks earlier. Oh well, this can happen. My confidence is down and I feel so out of shape. Not to mention the fact that I have been eating horribly and gained some weight. It all goes together, don't run much, eat more junk food, drink more and so on and so on. Today I met two friend at 5:45 and ran a fast (fast for me) 8 miles (about a 7:20 pace). It was tough to keep up with them. But I know that if I can just hang on to them I will get back into shape. Tomorrow I may take the day off, I am not sure. Then Wed is track. Which is usually very difficult. This weekend I am not racing so hopefully I can get a long run in. (long for me is about 12 miles). It is hard to get up everyday to run. But most days I start work at 6:45 and don't end until about 6:00 at night! A long day for sure!
I am determined to eat better and run more. I need to get back to lifting, and running at least 5-6 days. It is harder to get up now, because it is dark out...very dark. It feels like night still. I know I just need to get back on track and I will feel better. I need to also get my house cleaned and organized. I feel like everything is off and needs to get back into balance.
Ever feel like that?
