What a (negative) difference no running during the weekend makes. 🙁
I didn’t do my 18-mile run on Saturday because of the self-defence class that was practically the entire day. And I didn’t know what I was thinking when I thought I could run on Sunday (was too sore!) and then was still feeling the after-effects of the class on Monday (hey, so I got in three [controlled] fights on Saturday! It really took a toll on my body!)
Anyway, after all that, I guess my body was reverting back to its lazy self, especially when it has not run in three days! Eek.
I already felt sluggish the entire day and nearly didn’t feel like going out for my run but my virtual training bestie, Sheryl, did her “work” with motivating me to just get going. When I finally got to the park, it didn’t help that my Garmin wouldn’t find any satellites and only did, nearly a mile into running. UGH.
I’m glad I kept going, though, and completed my run because I feel better now. In fact, I’m kinda wired that I don’t think I’ll be able to sleep in a while. ROFL. You win some, you lose some (sleep!)
