Phew
Well, it wasn't a 22-miler or even a 5K, but fasting today took a lot out of me. I ran about 3 or 3.5 miles in the morning at a decent clip despite some achiness in my knee, and then basically read and dozed all day. I was so jealous that Matt was able to stay awake and do his work while I was completely useless.
By the time 7:30 rolled around, I wasn't even hungry anymore and could barely eat. My grandmother fed us with lots of yummy stuff so I did the best I could. Now I'm starting to get a second wind and appetite so hopefully that will fuel an hour or so more of work and then I'll be able to get up on the early side tomorrow, run and write my paper. I'm not allowing myself to go lift or swim unless I finish it. The gym doesn't open until 9am anyway, so it's really a lot more worthwhile for me to just run and make the most of the day even though I like to complement the shorter runs I've been doing with ellipticalling or some kind of cross training. I need to remember what's important here. And then remind myself, again, and again...
