Well my marathon pace didn't work out as expected. I think fatigue is still giving me some problems and some dehydration this morning was a bit of a problem. Ended up running a couple of miles in a light rain shower this morning and it was much more humid than anticipated. I also realized too late that I really hadn't had any water after dinner last night and I could feel it this morning. Thought about stopping at 4 or 5 miles but decided to slog it out to the end and at least be able to s.....log the miles. Not much of a confidence builder this morning, I'm starting to doubt my ability to maintian an 8:00/mile pace for SGM. I keep hoping each day will get better and for the most part it has but not to the degree that I have been hoping for. Hopefully as my modified taper progresses, some of the fatigue will give way to a bit more energy in the legs and more will power in the mind. Tonight I am going to 11 year old scout camp with my youngest son and it is gonna be cold with rain a very good possibility and snow a slight possibility. I don't get to excited about camping anymore with the thought of sleeping on the ground, or on an air matress. I just don't sleep well out of my normal comfort zone. Besides the fact that we will be freezing. I am planning on doing a 10-12 mile run Saturday evening when we get back from the camp. |
