Getting up this morning was so hard. I just feel drained and heavy. But I got my butt to the gym and put in 4 miles. It was tempo run day so miles 1 & 4 are easy pace and miles 2 & 3 are tempo pace (13:02). The first mile wasn't bad at all. But miles 2 & 3, it pushed me. Its faster than normal, but do-able. It really was a mind over matter game. The last mile was a relief, I was so ready to be done, but I resisted the urge to run faster than an easy pace. The goal is to run all the training runs, not push myself so hard in one run that I have to skip the next one or two.
I got to work and was dying for some food.Veggies and eggs and sausage. It was another insane day. I was able to grab some soup and bread pudding for lunch. I had 5 mins to eat and then I was taking bites here and there all day. By the end of the day I was exhausted and my legs were sore. I couldn't stand the thought of packing so I went walking around the outlet mall to stretch my legs. I bought pumpkin scented candles. I'm ready for fall, Fuck these 100 degree days.
On the way back from getting Molly, I finally felt hungry. I was lazy and went to Wendy's for a burger and small frosty. I can feel my resolve just falling apart. I'm exhausted and I'm not sure that I can keep it all going this week. There's just too much going on! I decide that I'm going to at least workout every other day and get the runs in. I don't want to totally give up, but I think trying to do the lifting too will just cause me to completely fall apart. I could use some damn sleep anyway!
