Rough ending to a week that started so promising. I'm glad I ran a double on Monday and got up early Christmas morning, otherwise this week would have been a disaster. Both boys were sick on Thursday and they passed it onto me late Thursday night sometime. Yesterday's run wasn't horrible, but there was no way I could run the planned 20 miles this morning. Woke up feeling like junk so I pushed the run back until noon, thinking a few hours awake might be better. By noon I was weak and hungry. Ate some food and pushed the run back another few hours. By the time I went at 4, my attitude was shot and after 6 miles, I felt weak and dizzy. Called it quits after 8 miles. Hopefully a weekend of rest will help and I can try again on Monday. |
