Thank god for two things. One, it was not raining or snowing or anything else!!!! It was windy but who cares after the last run! And two, I am so glad that I had a decent run!
Now I am not saying I am fully recovered because I am not but I sure didn't feel as winded as I did Thursday.
This situation has been a little different for me. I have never felt so drained for so long. Yeah yeah I know i just finished a marathon, but still this has been pretty hard to recover from, I really think it is killing me more mentally than anything else.
During my run tonight I felt like the waistband of an old pair of sweats just totally stretched out! Not to mention my legs that still feel like they have lead in them.
I think what it is, is that I ran the marathon fairly easy and didn't have to put 100% effort in to it as I have always done in my runs, therefore I feel like I shouldn't be tired at all.
Like I said before all mental.
At least tonight I had a little spark of excitement as I was thinking ahead to my favorite race, Bloomsday!
I do think I have started a new tradition for running. I have never really ever been training in December, but I like running through the neighborhoods and seeing all the lights. I am sure this will be an annual thing for me.
Let me know how your running's are going!
I think you should put some bells on when you run around looking at Christmas lights!
ReplyDeleteWhile looking at the lights, don't forget about the ice or you'll be seeing little birdies instead. At least, that's what happens in cartoons.
