the less fitterer
My legs feel like ass. My ass feels more like legs than my legs do.
Everything from knee to sole is sore or tight or tight-sore. Both legs. In the hot humid predawn I struggle to break nine-minute miles. And this week has been devoid of workouts since Sunday's hilly meltdown, so I have no excuse. My Number One goal in my whole entire life is to get enough sleep, to grab it whenever I can and hoard it. Today I worked from home and in lieu of lunch I took a nap; even after seven hours' sleep last night I still slept hard this noon until the alarm woke me up. Number Two goal is to find a comfortable sitting position, and Number Three is to get enough to drink and eat while I am not sleeping or running very slowly. Goal Number Four is to get through whatever running the Schedule says I'm supposed to do.
I've got a 15K Saturday morning in Ohrrlahnndho for which I must get up at something like 3:15 so I can get awake and functional enough to drive the 90 minutes over there. I have no idea what to shoot for. I love the distance, but I have always run it in fall or winter, and my PR was set in February in 55F weather. One might think I am in better shape now than I was in February, but then again, maybe not.
