A while ago, someone commented, "Do you ever have a bad run?" ... 'cause all I write about are the good ones! That's true I suppose to an extent ... I mean I probably do subconsciously try to paint myself as a Super-Stud! (C'mon, I'm a 42 year old grandfather who's losing hair and gaining freckles ... so I'm trying every trick I know!!!) That being said ... lately my runs have been "not great"!!!
Do any of you remember Rod Smart from the short lived XFL? His name on the back of his jersey was "He Hate Me" ... kinda stupid, but kinda funny too. Well I think my legs are beginning to take up the "He Hate Me" cause! They seem to be rebelling against all the mileage I'm running. I'm still getting the miles in mind you ... 1,804 as of this morning ... and thankfully, no injuries to speak of. But I'm just really "dead legged" lately.
I had a good weekend as far as mileage goes with 16 on Saturday ... 18 on Sunday ... 16 on Monday - but they were REALLY tough to get through. The 82 degrees and 91% humidity average conditions were partly the cause ... but at this point I would expect the runs to be a little easier. My pace is not bad, but overall it's just a struggle.
We'll see how this week goes! Have a good one!
... be great today!
