Rainy Days and Hump Day

Hump Day... the week is half way done.  with the training schedule that I'm using, it also means another long day.  Today was supposed to be 10 miles, but again I had a case of the "blahs".

3:00 PM I headed out for my run.  Right from the start I didn't feel right.  Heavy legs, and just not comfortable at all.  About two miles in, and it was evident to me that unless I felt great all of a sudden, I should cut the run short.  At three miles I made the decision to cut the run in half.  The temp was decent, but now it had begun to rain... and my legs still felt like crap.

I headed back to work, finished the run, and then headed out for a pasta dinner with my wife.  While eating dinner, I made the decision to take an unscheduled day off from my running.  If this is a cold, or a sign of over training, I want to end it as quickly as I can.  As the saying goes "An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure."


Today's totals -  5.13 miles  /  232.18 total for the year.
