Last week being week 6 I may have overdone it. I skipped a workout due to work and was OK with that. I had been up all night and no sleep. Just did not have it in me. So I decided to make it up by running a race Sat. I took Sunday off and was going to do my long run tonight. I spent 25 minutes on the treadmill and just could not get into it. Stopped 35 min early. Knees were hurting, legs felt dead. I just did not want to push myself into getting hurt going into a build week (week 7) so I opted to ice down my feet and do some stretching.
I felt great last week too. Sure hope that I bounce back tomorrow. I feel fairly certain that I will. My main concern was that I would push it too hard today and still be suffering tomorrow, snowballing into a crappy week. I know that I am probably doing the right thing but I feel pretty lousy sitting on the couch when I know that I should still be finishing my run right now.
Oh well, weather is getting warmer. Soon I will get the good bike off the trainer and take it back outside where a bike belongs. My winter bike has really been getting hammered. Rain, snow, sleet, mud. It really needs a good cleaning and lubing.
Feet are still bothering me a bit, but not too bad. As long as I ice and stretch it is manageable. I hope I can keep it contained for about 20 more weeks until I start my taper.
Thanks for reading.
