I feel like a slacker because I only ran 106 miles last week. I shouldn't feel guilty because it was my easy week after my time trial.
The night of my 30 mile TT I was advised to run more, if I could, but I was pretty positive I wasn't going to be able to. I was very impressed, but also disappointed, to find that I ended up running 25 minutes and walking 35 mixed in. I was impressed because this meant I was in much better shape than I ever have been, happy as this would prove good for me in the 24 hour run, but also a little disappointed because if I could do it it meant I had to. What is wrong with me? Will nothing make me sore anymore?
I was sore but not enough to keep me from running as I had to run 12 miles the next day and that would be my easiest day. It's probably for the best because I felt guilty enough about only 106 miles! I mean there were significant amounts of the day that I wasn't running and I don't normally feel like that! At the 30 mile I finally felt like I can get better and I am. When I don't run a lot I'm slow- it's my natural state. I usually feel like all my training just goes towards fighting that off. But if I have found something that will actually make me better then I will run 160 miles a week. If that's what it takes. I may not want to do it sometimes but I always want to do it in someway. Bring on 2012!
