I have to remind myself that not every day will be a walk in the park...or a run in the park...or technically around a lake. Saturday the lake defeated me.
I set out to run 12 miles, but about 4 miles in my body felt weak, sick and heavy. I barely made it to the top of extreme hill #1 (Winstead) when I turned to MK and waived the proverbial flag.
This past week has been filled with reasons to make me want to give up. My running has felt harder than it has since the very beginning. I may be dehydrated, but I am working on it. I may have gotten a little off schedule, but I am working on it. I may have to run 13 miles next Saturday...and I have every intention of doing it.
We are going to chalk this past week up to a useful reminder that nutrition, hydration, consistency and stretching really to make a difference. Hopefully this is the last time I learn that lesson.
