'I need to stop eating retard sandwiches'
This is a kind of funny thing my friend M. has been saying a lot lately as he keeps inviting this girl who is mean to him to our social functions. Today I am kind of saying that to myself just because I feel so crappy and I am trying to figure out why. I was just perusing my running log and frankly I cannot understand why I feel like crap now and I felt fine this summer when I was on a plane twice a week and training at sea level four days a week. And running upwards of 70 miles a week!
I had a very ill-fated workout at lunchtime today. The plan was to run 6 miles on the treadmill but at the outset I was put in a foul mood because I realized I forgot to put socks in my bag after I did laundry. I HATE running without socks. Not only do I have super-stinky feet but it feels weird on my orthotics and I just do not like it. At that point I almost didn't run, almost didn't work out altogether which in retrospect may have been smart. Instead I ran a truly craptacular 3 miles on the treadmill, all the while feeling absolutely positively terrible. This is supposed to be a cutback week and all but come on! So now I have the dilemma of whether I try another workout later on (around maybe 5:30 or 6:00) making me a true running geek who prioritizes running over my social life or do I go to a party that work people are having. Frankly I am not into the party at all - Matt's cousin has a long layover in Denver this afternoon so he is going to the airport to meet him, and I hate going to social events alone when I do not know hardly anyone. So while I feel like I should go to the party I really don't want to. I'd much rather go home, run again, and then just go out later with Matt and our friends that I actually know.
So we'll see. I may end up with three miles in the log today, but I might have 9 by the time the day is over.
