Tired Legs

The past week of running has been tough. My legs are fried. I have been getting out for my daily runs, but they have been very hard. Yesterday's run was extremely hot and humid, on top of the tired legs. I knew things were bad when an ATV rider asked if I needed a ride back to my car. He said I looked like I was "ready to drop." Not a big confidence builder.

I plan to run the Green Lakes Endurance 100K this cominhg weekend. This is a multiple loop course on single track. I am thinking I might skip running this week all together and just bike. If my legs feel this heavy and slow when I get to upstate New York for the race, it isn't going to be a good time.

I'll run today to finish off the week, and then take it how I feel for the rest of the week.

  2. good luck on the 100K. The hot humid weather definitely doesn't help to have a good run. This past week has made me wonder if I still have it in me, but I know the humidity really plays into making it tough to run.. Hopefully you'll have perfect running weather in Syracuse! Good luck!
