Today's workout was supposed to be an "easy" three mile run. Shouldn't be a problem. I selected the nice flat, one mile loop at work to do. This is usually my choice on windy afternoons. Three laps, and we're all set.
Well, after the 10-mile race on Sunday, my legs were still a little heavy. Not sore, but just heavy. Then, last night I was crazy enough to stay up and watch the Daytona 500 to its completion. Result... only four hours of sleep. So in addition to my legs, my mind and the rest of my body were tired.
Completed the run in my usual 9:30 pace, but believe me there was nothing "easy" about this run. It took the first quarter mile just to get the legs into a rhythm, and the rest of the run I felt like I was towing an anchor.
Next time a NASCAR race goes past 11:00, it's getting shut off. I need my sleep!
