As usual i'm following the half marathon training plan by Hal Higdon. Well it called for a 10 mile run this weekend. I woke up yesterday at 515 to go for my run. Well i had nothing. No energy, legs felt like shit and mentally i couldnt imagine running 10 miles do i said screw it and went back to bed.
I spent the day playing tourist in Boston with the family. Went to zoo, quincy market and our favorite ice cream shop. The whole damn time i was very anxious. I felt terrible about not running. Hal was in every thought. My dam Catholic guilt was killing me. Guilt for letting Hal down? I kept tellin myself "you dont even know Hal, its just a piece of paper"!
By today i couldnt handle it anymore. I took off on my 10 miler the first thing in the morning. I felt great, the whole run was relatively easy. Amazing how you can build up such stamina. I felt like a kid in a candy store for the last mile. I know the run to remember is is well within reach.
One long run left and a couple of shorties and then its go time. Ill take tomorrow off, do some lifting with Doug and then have a recovery run Tuesday.
Im in the market for a new MP3 player. Mine is 4 yrs old and only holds 100 songs. I need some new music. But I cant part with this one, its like my little brother i never had. Its always with me, takes a beating and comes back for more. What else could i want.
Tried some GU roctane today around mile 4. Wow stuff is great, highly recommend it.
That's all for now!
