I am happy to report 2 consecutive days of fulfilling workouts....following 3 days of extreme fatigue and crappy workouts. It's nice to feel normal again.
I think this weekend, I must've been fighting some sort of bug. I had to take an additional rest day on Saturday and my 5-mile run on Sunday felt like 15! I was so sore! Thankfully, I seem to be over what it was and yesterday's swim went great, as did today's run with strides.
I love feeling strong. (Who doesn't, right?) There's something so ego-boosting about feeling long and lean in the water and feeling like every stride counts on the run. No dragging my feet today! I really felt my feet almost spinning under my hips. Very cool indeed.
Sometimes we athletes have good days and sometimes we have bad days. Having 2 or 3 bad days in a row really sucks. It's enough to shake your confidence. I feel on the road to recovery and hoping to have more strong workouts to come. I'm really working hard towards a half marathon PR. This weekend is an 8-mile run. Wish me luck!
