My motto this week has been "just keep swimming" from the
ever-lovable movie Finding Nemo. This
week is the halfway point of my training and I think I'm starting to feel the
combined effects of all the long runs. I've been noticeably more tired and
probably crankier this week (sorry to those that are around me daily). I have
also been dealing with a little bit of a neck injury so the combination
of being overtired, neck pain and snow storms, I'm trying to “just keep
swimming”. I'm taking one day and one run at a time, and trying to remind
myself that a slow run is better than no run. I have my sights set on my
de-load week, which is only one more full week of training away. It is a week
where my run time is cut almost in half to help focus on an active recovery.
Hopefully I'll be able to catch up on some much needed Z's this weekend, hit
next weeks’ long runs (120 min Monday, Wednesday and Friday) and then cruise
into my de-load week to mentally and physically relax and recover.
