Club:
Well I had 500ml of Lucozade before club and a banana as I hadn't had tea (7pm meeting time) and felt good so expectations were good. First 1-1.5m fine, faster than last week and feeling good - phew I thought looks like I'm back. Then the legs started to slow and feel heavy. By 2m I had to walk (not helped by this being the hilliest part of the run). by 2.5m I called it quits.
My thighs felt almost stiff, my calves started to tingle and I sounded like an elephant as I cold hear and feel my heavy foot fall.
At first I thought it was my shoes as I losened them and was able to trot a bit further, but no the energy had gone, I was drained.
I sulked off home.
I had also had a head ache that afternoon and it hadn't gone.
Went to bed early too.
This morning I felt rough and almost didn't go to work. Head was fuzzy, snivels still there and still feeling drained.
I have picked up as the day has gone on but fear I may have another cold coming, so bought some tonic to try and help (getting desperate!) I so don't want another set back.
The club captain has suggested taking a couple of days off and not running tomorrow which sounds sensible but I hate to miss runs when I am already behind. Dither dither as fraggle says.

And had you eaten enough earlier on in the day?
I'm finding coming back so frustrating as I know I can run faster and longer and not being able to annoys me.
the comments don't show
or maybe it's blogger having a blip (again).
