When it hits you - too tired to run


Looks like its going to be a very conservative mileage this month of April.  This week I've been finding it hard to get up in the morning to do a run.  For the past 3 days I felt tired, not just physically but mentally.  Work has been hitting me a lot lately with all the deadlines and all.  I have been getting the headaches and migraines for the past 3 days now.

Yesterday was supposed to be an easy morning run, right after a speed session the day before that.  This morning was no different either as it really was soooo hard to get up in bed.  I really feel that there's something wrong with my body.  Its unusual for me to give-in this easy. 

Not running was a result of me listening to my body and its a good thing.  But there's a feeling of guilt again that this will affect my training.  Last month I clocked a pretty good mileage.  At the rate I'm going now, I'll be back to my mileage 2 months ago!

I'm adjusting today with my intakes, and will get enough rest tonight (meaning no more candy crush and bookworm!) to feel good enough to run in the morning (and the day after that) #mindset
