hitting the wall @ 8 mph
Last Friday was another long run. The build up during the week with my other running chums led me to believe that it was going to be an 11-mile afair. Well, the weather was crappy and everyone kind of felt worn out before we even set out. So in an effort not to kill ourselves, we decided to do a six mile loop and the reassess. The snow was blinding and streets were slick. I love running, but this was seriously trying my patience. At least I had some friends with me to share in the missery. After our six, a couple bailed and another guy along with myself decided to press on for at least two more. Lets just say I’m glad that we didn’t decide to go longer. I started to hit the wall about a mile in. Turns out I didn’t eat enough in the few hours beforehand. When we got back to my house, I was starting to feel light headed and seeing stars. A banana followed by a shower and some pizza took care of that. I got back my strength just in time to go out to some of the local establishments with my roommate and another training partner who just got back from the Motley Crue concert. They said it rocked like no other.
