RUN 9 miles in 1:20
SWIM zero!
I woke up feeling OK for the run, had a good first loop of 55-56 mins. LC brought fruit for IT's bday and I noshed a banana and strawberries (gotta watch those fruit servings!). Then I took off again alone planning to only run 8 miles. But as I ran I realized I wasn't going to swim. I was cold, tired, fuzzed, unfocused. It'd be better to swim later when I'm feeling better, right?
Is that good rationale, or The Blerch?!
I went to work knowing I had only a half day ahead of me with the services for P in the afternoon. This weighed on my mind all day, a sadness I couldn't shake. I thought I'd swim on the way home, but didn't. I was tired, weak, wanting something I couldn't define. Probably food. I was getting hungry so when I got home I started with my usual veg salad and protein, then moved onto creating some rice cake things for the ride this weekend. The carbs probably did me good, but it was a crutch. Deep down I was still fatigued.
Being sick again on Monday really took the run out from under me. It left me "off" all week and still today I'm feeling it! Can't have that!!! But it's Peak Week, of course I'm tired. Or is that me rationalizing things?
Either way, weight was too low this morning (dehydrated from not drinking when I feel sick) and that always messes with my head. Makes me feel like I'm not strong enough. Drink more!
I then thought I might swim after the services, but I was still weak. The carbs were a crutch of energy that was just a front.
Once home, dog walked, and dinner done I started or more rice cake things. My success in the first round encouraged me, but these were a fail. They came out bad (water from the carrots?) but I ended up eating a bunch anyway, leaving my tummy in a too-full upset mode. Why do I do that to myself?!
One month to B2B!
