Mama's Tired

Damn, I hate admitting that I'm human, but the fact is,I'm tired and I'm sore. With two weeks to go until Boston, that's not a good feeling. This morning, Gilbert gave us a choice of runs. Either a 10 mile hilly run in Barton Springs or a 10 mile Recovery Run-depending on how we were feeling. It didn't take long to decide that I was doing the recovery run. Amy, Tonya and I met at Runtex at 5:45am and set out. Immediately, I felt "off." My legs felt hollow and I was a little woozy. Sadly, we weren't really even running fast. All of the water fountains along the way were turned off. Damn, I was really parched and slightly dizzy. I'm pretty sure I was just dehydrated from the weekend's activities. Both Saturday and Sunday's main workouts took place during the heat of the day and I don't think I truly accounted for the loss of water during those workouts. Mentally, I was just not into the recovery run today and convinced myself that continuing would do more harm than good at this point. What I need more than anything else is water and rest...water and rest...water and rest...I let them know I was cutting the run short. Who knew that 7 1/2 miles would be cutting a Monday workout short? It was still 1hr 10min avg about 9:20 pace. I'm sure they were relieved so that they could pick it up a bit. I'm glad I made the decision as I came home and stretched for about 20 minutes. Oh yeah, I also drank some Gatorade and a ton of water.
