So, I did a run yesterday, and I didn't carb up the night before, and boy did I feel it. I didn't have much energy, was only able to run so far, then I had to stop and walk it. I walked more of that run than I had in recent months, I just couldn't get moving. There was a tube chute right in the middle of the race, which was nice because it broke things up a little bit, but I felt like I moved slower on the way back because now I was wet and my clothes were carrying water. I had fun doing that race, but I really need to take my carbing-up into consideration. I won't make that mistake again!
My friend was with me for this run, and she has been running with an injured ankle. She started off ahead of me, I managed to get caught up, but in the end she stayed ahead of me and came in a few minutes before I did. I'm very proud of her, and happy that she's doing so well, but just could not get my ass moving. I have a couple of days this week to get my running in before Beach to Bay on Sunday, so I'll do the best I can and keep on running. Soon after Beach to Bay, I start training for the Rock and Roll half marathon, and then I'll be doing longer runs and hopefully will get better at this. On May 27th, I may do the American Hero's 5K, June 2nd I have the Women's Lavender Run, and not much scheduled after that, so it's time to search around and look for stuff to do. I have to keep running, keep moving and not slow down. I am determined to do this, and not stop!
That's all for now. Until next time....gotta run!
