Feeling Sluggish
I had no intentions of doing a quality run today. Sundays are EASY days. After doing a quality 16 mile run yesterday and barely eating any dinner, I had no expectations of feeling good this morning.
Last night we went out to dinner to celebrate my brother's birthday. Seeing as I don't eat any meat, finding something on the menu at a steakhouse was a little bit difficult. I ended up eating plain spinach leaves and a baked potato. Since we didn't get home from dinner until about 9:30, I didn't want to eat anything right before I went to bed. I was exhausted from having a long day on Saturday.
When I woke up this morning, I was greeted by somewhat overcast skies, stronger winds, temperatures that are slightly cooler, and humidity. We are feeling a little bit of Frances around here. I plodded through 7 miles. When I felt tight, I would stop and stretch. My shin was a little bit sore, but it is feeling much better right now. I had no energy since I had such a small dinner and I do not have a stomach of steel. I can't eat before I run. I am so jealous of everyone who can eat something before they go out to run.
I'm supposed to go for a bike ride this afternoon with my father. We're doing our workout tomorrow in the morning since most everyone has the day off from work. Hopefully we'll also go out for breakfast after the run.
