A sneak peak into what I am planning for 2018
Rest Day Friday
I actually took today as an actual rest day, I didn't even walk at lunch. Though I will admit that was mostly because I have been trying to get my blog caught up. I have been remiss in my blogging duties as of late. I feel like my struggles in training have carried over into … Continue reading Rest Day Friday
The frustration continues
Once again I slept through the alarm. Once again my knee is bothering me....no issues with my eyelashes. (See yesterdays blog for this reference) The pain was pretty bad today, bad enough that I had to bring out my hinged knee brace and wear it to the office. I felt immediate relief once I put … Continue reading The frustration continues
Frustrated
I woke up today with a super sore knee. And was incredibly exhausted. I was so exhausted that I literally slept through my alarms. It's just an incredibly frustrating feeling. I think the level of exhaustion also plays into the frustration and makes it worse. I think my inability to maintain my training rhythm due … Continue reading Frustrated
Friday blues
Friday should be a happy day. End of the work week but I am frustrated and worried about the missed miles this week. I am trying not to beat myself up too horribly but am struggling as the knee issue has dragged on, seemed better and then reared its head again. My knee was better … Continue reading Friday blues
Back to work
Another day of sleep being greater than running. When my alarm went off I just felt incredibly tired. Combined with my knee feeling a bit rough I decided to punk out this morning. The original plan for the day, and the promise I made with myself is that I would sleep in this morning and then … Continue reading Back to work
Nine and a half hour travel day
Today was the travel day that wouldn't end. We left at 4 am, making it yet another short night. We had anticipated some degree of morning commuter traffic but did not expect to spend nine and a half hours in the car WITHOUT any side trips or adventures. The culprit wasn't Connecticut as expected, but … Continue reading Nine and a half hour travel day
Sleep > Miles
It was another moderately late night. By the time I crawled into bed I had been awake for almost 20 hours straight (minus maybe 30 minutes of dozing in the car yesterday). I ended up going to bed without Jesi since my intention was to get up and run. However when the alarm went off … Continue reading Sleep > Miles
Late Thursday night = no Friday run
After my second run last night I had choir practice. After catching up with friends after practice and by the time we had dinner-it was nearly 10:30 pm so when the alarm went off at 4:30 my body protested. My inability to get up and get moving was not only from lack of sleep but … Continue reading Late Thursday night = no Friday run
Ouch
So apparently my running yesterday did result in some minor Monday morning discomfort. Initially I had thought that I would go for a gentle longer run on my day off. I would get up early and head out, instead my knee was a bit more uncomfortable. Not wanting to push the level of discomfort to … Continue reading Ouch
