| First the good news. I went up over 200 miles of running on the year with today's run. Last year I don't think it was until August that I reached 200 miles.
But I think it's time to look at all the signs I've been seeing and realize the way I've been pushing my body the past 3 months with running and strength training has pushed me a bit beyond the limit. I've got to take 1 to 2 really really easy weeks here I think.
When I was out there today, it felt a lot like that 10K race I had back in September where I just fell apart after 3 miles. I tried to do a tempo run today and after about 10 minutes at tempo pace, my legs just started dying on me. When I finished up and checked my blood sugar, I was fine at 128 mg/dl. I just might be extremely tired now and I've been trying to bull my way through it. |
