Day two, week two of (re)training! Today was a stark difference from yesterday. Yesterday I was feeling a little discouraged because of a run that felt slightly miserable in that my body was just heavy. It felt as if I were stomping the whole run and the weather was just awful, but today made up for yesterday's lack.
Today is sunny, and in the 70F's, a wildly beautiful day to do anything outdoors. I ran a 4K this afternoon and all was well. My legs felt strong, my brain didn't want to give up, my breathing was under control, my pace was consistent, and really that's all I'm asking for from a run. However, the problem started after my run, I just feel so tired now. It could be because I'm rising in kilometers too quickly (add one every two days) but I figured that this is for a 5K so it shouldn't be too bad. Well, it hasn't been bad, and most days I return energetic, but today I just feel tired.
With that problem in mind, I have definitely been eating enough calories as to not have my body feed off my necessary calories that keep myself alive. I have learned that if this happens it is a painful process to recuperate, but I know that this is not the case here, I would have to eat nothing for that to happen. Nevertheless, today was beautiful, my run was encouraging, and the rest of the week is supposed to be this wonderful as well so that makes me happy.
The 5K race is not very far away and I am enthused about it. I haven't run in a race for so long so I cannot wait to give it a go again!
Run confident my friends!
