I took yesterday off, mainly because of a mental funk and I didn't want to run outside and fight the icy roads. The treadmill didn't seem any more appealing so I did some weights and ball/core exercises followed by some decent stretches. I felt quite good most of the day and my legs were appreciating the time off.
This mornings run started off very well, actually the best I have felt in some time. After thirty minutes of running everything changed. My legs slowly became heavy and lead-like, along with the pulling hamstrings. Both of them! I had to really ease off on the pace and "just finish" the run. I didn't make the time I wanted and had to cut the workout short by ten minutes. I find this quite frustrating, and quite honestly I am going to have a difficult time dragging my ass out of bed to go running and feel like complete garbage. I only hope this weekend things improve and I can gain some momentum going into next week. I need to have some good energy vibes, as the true marathon schedule starts in two weeks.
Totals: 1:12:54 ~10 miles

I'll send you good energy vibes brother. Seems we've all been a little short of positive energy these days. I'm blaming it on the super cold weather. I think it just zaps everything out of you. Not to mention lack of sun!
Sending you sun and energy,
Carole
Thanks a lot. I will take whatever you have left over!
Love the new picture--you two have such great fun--:-)
I also agree that it could be the cold temps causing some leg problems. Maybe also the switch in the shoes and the body adjusting to new alignment.
I did experience some adjustment when I went to the Nikes' from NB!!!
Anyway have fun at what you're doing---Love you--M&D
