So I 'bonked'. Didn't listen to my body. Thought I was superwoman, I guess. I don't know. Why couldn't I do it? It was on the training plan so obviously someone thinks it's reasonable??

On my plan today I was to run 6 miles. 1 slow, 4 brisk, 1 slow. Since it is freezing today, I waited until 11 am to run. Lacing up my shoes I noticed I was a little hungry, but no biggie. The first mile my legs felt like lead. Second mile I picked up the pace and felt OK. Third mile, no way. I just stopped. Walked. I knew I couldn't do it.

FINALLY made it home. In 33 minutes. Hmm, think I was going too fast? Came in, ate a relatively big lunch, took a hot bath, and went out for the last three. Finished the total run in 1:05. About 11 minute miles average, not counting the hour lunch and bath.

I feel Ok. Now it's 2:30 and I'm kind of hungry, but don't really want to eat because I don't feel like I ran the required amount so there's no reason for a snack. Supposed to do strength training today, but there is no way.

How am I going to run 20 miles on Sat?????

FYI, I ran a half/marathon PR on Sat., ran 5 on Sunday, ran 4 on Monday, ran 5 fast on Tuesday, and ran 6 medium yesterday. Also went on a fire call yesterday which required climbing stairs in full gear.

But still!!!

No route 44 diet coke today. That's probably the whole problem right there. : )
