The universe is shaped exactly like the earth if you go straight long enough you'll end up where you were
As of late, my running has been OK but I have felt pretty shitty health wise. I am pretty sure that I am getting a little sick which I contribute to the high mileage week of last and the minimal sleep I got in the preceding days. Anyways, I think I can rebound with some quality sleep and alot of vitamin C.
Yesterday, Dylan and I did a tempo run at Reid Park much like last week. My entire day was spent prepping for this run so I expected much more. However, my body did not deliver at all. I knew that I was fucked when, right before the run, I was incredibly drowsing and I felt a sinus headache coming on.
The effort started with a 5:13 mile followed by a 5:19 mile. Then, after 2.5 miles, I felt like I was going beyond my threshold. So, I made a conscious decision to run the entire 3 miles and stop. So, I pulled out a 5:20 mile and called it quits. Then, 30 seconds later, Dylan came by which made me feel like a pussy. So, I decided to not listen to my body and keep going which lead me to a 5:30 mile.
After the run, I felt like I had wimped out (which I had) and, at the same time, was upset that I didn't listen to what my body prescribed.
Today, I got in 4.5 miles as a morning run and still didn't feel too great. Hopefully, a relaxing day at work followed by an easy 8 miles will improve my health and gear me up for next week when practice starts.
By the end of the day, I will be at 41.5 miles for the week which started on Tuesday. So, I figure I will put in about 80 miles for the 7 day span.
I need to get ready for work.

If you want to kill what's left of your immune system, you can join Lucas and me for 2 hours on Sunday. No word on baked goods as of yet. You can bring Daniel-son if he's running these days.
