Not over-trained, rather under-rested.

RUN 2.3 miles out of 3.1, ez track 400s
BIKE COMMUTE 14 miles

With JH in my head saying "I'd be disappointed if you didn't take my advice" (see yesterday's post) I left on Puppy to meet BE at the track. I was tired before I woke up, dragging, and barely motivated. The keto thing playing a role here too, I'm sure. But I couldn't resist running even just a teeny bit!

BE ran 800s as per his plan (ave'd 3:35-3:40 on them) while I did about 500 in the same time. 5 intervals and done, and kept this workout as a goal to repeat in the future for comparison.

I also need to crow (eh....maybe not too much) about this being the first back-to-back run I've done! Bee version 2 has a new record and benchmark.

BE mentioned a book by Deena Kastor, about the mental aspects of racing. By coincidence, yesterday I downloaded a Marathon Training Academy pod with her in it and I play that during my bike ride to work. The title of this post along with a few other gems stuck in my head. Another for when negativity seeps in during a run -- find a thought that serves me better.

I'm almost done with Scott Jurek's North book (wonder how it will end....ha!) and I have 3 to pick up at the library next. One on running form, two on science topics.

Yeah, I'm tired and need to rest. Hard to separate the physical fatigue from the diet-physical fatigue. Thought I was more fat adapted?!
