OVER IT

Posted Feb 03 2009 1:13am

MON : RUN : 45 MIN.

I am over it! (the long run Saturday) I am one that likes to over analyze at times. I have some up with reasons to explain to me why it wasn't the greatest run:

  1. I did not land in Cleveland until 10pm and got to bed at midnight.
  2. I never had anything to eat for dinner or breakfast before the run.
  3. With the time change, I only had 6 hours sleep after 6 hours on Thursday also.
  4. I did a half on hills 5 days before followed by a hard spin workout and tempo run.
  5. Everyone has there off days.
  6. I changed my run : walk ratio.

Reasons that I should be satisfied:

  1. I did run 4.5 hours
  2. I did run 17 miles.
  3. I did not hurt when I finished.

I have taken a different look at my training . I will do one more long run. I also plan on increasing one of my weekly runs to 8-10 miles. I'm not sure if I'm on track to break 6 hours but realistically my other 2 marathons were over 6:30.

Waddling with a new attitude.......
