Thursday I felt good after the 8.5 mile run, but later in the day I was SO tired. I nodded off at lunch, and went to bed at 8:30. Ten hours later I woke up feeling fairly good, and I rested that day. But today, halfway into the morning’s five-mile run with the St Croix Valley group I began to feel very, very sluggish. I even walked briefly a couple of times, and thought I was slower than molasses. But then, to my surprise, I finished in 43:13 for a pace of 8:39, which is not a bad time for that run.
So was this morning's fatigue real, or was it mental? Big week last week - maybe I should just rest some more. But my runner’s instinct says go out and run tomorrow, seize the day! We’ll see how that sounds in the morning.
Saturday night's dinner: Roast lamb with Rose's Key Lime Marmelade, organic parsnips, organic strawberries, organic squash, organic salsa, nice stout.

Slow days happen. Yesterday after a humid Saturday run and a humid Sunday run, I inexplicably cooked dinner for myself suddenly at 4:30, hours ealy. I was just all out of sorts (needed food, I guess).
