Just lost my whole entry. Crap. Lets just say I had a horrible run. My legs felt like crap and I almost stopped to walk and with an average pace of 9:19 when I usual run a 8:10 average on this route tells me I'm not doing to well. I don't know whats wrong but I should have been well rested for this run where I took a couple days off, but that wasn't the case. I guess I need to chalk it up to just a bad day and let it go, but theres no way I could run a marathon feeling like I do and with just 6 weeks to go or less thats pretty discouraging.

See ya tomorrow.

So I needed to get my long run in today as tomorrow I am pressed for time because Ethan has a soccer game in the morning so I ran out to the river bottoms and then back to the house. My legs felt okay going out but then on the way back they just went dead on me again and I slowed down to where I was running a 10:20 mile, this has really hampered my training this week as I just haven't been able to get my legs to cooperate. I don't know what is wrong but today was brutal, I had to stop about .3 from my home and rest my legs just to finish, it really is frustrating!!! I needed to get 14 in today but my legs could go no further so I thought about the elliptical so I jumped on there for 40 minutes to get the extra 4 miles and I was able to do it with out much problem. I should not be feeling this way and I'm not sure what to do, it just feels like I hit the wall, its that kind of feeling. I have been trying to drink more water just in case its from being dehydrated, but to no a vale. Oh well I'll just keep doing what they will let me. My average pace for the run was 9:11 with a total time of 1:32:25, I will still try and run tomorrow but it will just be a regular run.

 

See ya tomorrow.
