As the week progressed, I find myself still overwhelmed attempting to fit my "part-time job" of training for this crazy run, into the schedule. Tuesday was to be a good run with the guys who run much faster than me. Unfortunately, my body was not co-operating. I found myself feeling exhausted on Tuesday, and the idea of running seemed something I couldn't even attempt. Speaking with coach Seely, he advised rest as the program, and I hastily embraced it.
Wednesday brought a 4 plus mile run with Coach Seely, and I was dying! He asked me when I had "ran" last, and despite my exercise on Monday that was NOT running, to not have actually RUN for 4 days was a critical error. Our run started out fine, but when the incline was working against me, I was sucking wind.
In the happy ending, I finished the run still "running." And learning my lesson that even though I have been running for 8 weeks (!), it can easily slide back by avoiding a day of running. In some ways, its a bit depressing as I think that I have to stay "running" to keep running.
Maybe I'm not long for the running world... hmmm....
