Push Through the Pain
So, I ran yesterday. Well, I ran a little. My foot (the right one) and legs are just too sore. I guess I am going to be forced to do what all of the training guides say and run one day and walk the next. Today though, I am going to push through the pain and do my three miles! I was thrilled with myself Monday, only to be highly disappointed with my output yesterday.
Another issue/question to my fellow runners out there...when do you get your energy back? I have cut waaay back on soda so that my body will be more hydrated for my runs (drinking water, and lots of it!). I am running and feel good right afterwards (endorphins I am told), but my extending energy throughout the day is gone. I am ready to go to bed at 8 with my toddler and sleep until at least 8 the next morning. I have created a habit where I go to bed around 9:30, not nearly as late as I once stayed up. I sleep until about 5:30 when my hubby's alarm goes off. That is a solid 8 hrs (assuming there are no trips back to our big girl bed or any other situations that require my attention throughout the night). I wake up and feel washed out before I even begin my day. When does it end?!? and What can I do to help it come back more quickly? I am taking B12 daily b/c I know that is supposed to increase energy. I just don't know what to do at this point! I'm sure I will, but I feel like I won't make it much longer! :)
Next short term goal...run 2 consecutive miles!
