2.14 miles It took a few days but my energy returned! Unfortunately, I had to cut this one short, but that’s the beauty of being flexible with training plans. I’ll move the longer midweek run to tomorrow or Friday, or perhaps next week. Wherever is most convenient. Thank you for reading my daily post on…
3.50 miles While my legs had some oomph in them for today’s miles, they did not have as much oomph as I would’ve liked. This caffeine withdrawal fatigue sure is something. The good news I haven’t had any headaches, but my body feels tired. I’ve decided to hang with it a little longer but if…
3.05 miles My energy was dragging today. Whether the fatigue was due to my higher mileage from last week or because I removed the caffeine from my coffee remains to be seen. I’ve read caffeine withdrawal can last between 2 to 9 days and if so, today would mark day 2 so perhaps the tiredness…
2.75 miles Today was a beautiful restful day with a little walking, a little market shopping, and a little nap time. Week 5 is completed with 39 miles covered and overall I feel good at this point. Although I’m feeling sleepy-tired today. People are still setting off firecrackers at ungodly hours in the night and disturbing…
10.53 miles There is this hill that has become a benchmark for determining what my energy will be like for the rest of my run. Last week the hill felt easier. Not easy. Just easier. Today I struggled up it. The perfect early morning fog and cooler temperature burned off quickly as the sun showed…
AM – 4.05 miles PM – 3.29 miles I wish I could pinpoint where this energy is coming from! Perhaps I’m in a groove, or perhaps it’s the looming deadline of the GVRAT next month that is propelling me to get in some extra miles. Either way, my body feels good, but I still need…
8.01 miles My intention wasn’t 8 miles, but at the end of the day, that’s what I got. Some running was in there, but there was mostly walking. Either way, there were no complaints from me! Thank you for reading my daily post on my Chicago Marathon training.
6.22 miles It’s a fact that some runs will feel easier than others and vice versa, and some will take longer to warm up to such as the case with this morning’s run. Once I got to mile 4, I felt like I could continue running forever, but I couldn’t because I had delicious coffee…
