I don't know what the hell is going on with my long runs. Last week, I was going along fine until my gut cramped up and ended my run rather dramatically. I got in a good, fast run on Sunday, and made my goal. Monday I ran with Angie, and I was sort of glad it went a little shorter than planned since my gut started acting up again.
Tuesday is where I get really confused. My goal was 70 minutes, but a little less than halfway through I was just so tired. Nothing was really hurting, although I had an annoying back ache. My gut was rumbling but hadn't yet hit critical mass. My breathing was ok, legs were still functioning. I was just generally, incredibly, tired.
The kids have been sick, and it's possible that I'm coming down with something, although it's staying pretty low grade. Some nights, I'm not getting much sleep. PMS? Hypochondria? Mental block?
I don't know what's wrong, and I'm starting to get pissed at myself. I was doing so well, was in such good shape to be running that 10K race, and it feels like it's all slipping away.
I have just over two weeks to get my body and my head straight.
