Tried running today after two days off… not that the two days off helped my numb legs. Awful. I had thoughts about a long run and had mapped 13 km stretch a week ago that didn’t look too bad on the map. Went driving to see what it was like hill wise and it was not too bad. I believe that it is worse than it looks with long stretched of slow rising hills.. however it did not seem to be the up and down, up and down of my regular runs.
All that was for not though as I quickly realized that if I had to bail on the run because of my legs I was screwed. There was no shortcut back to the car so I went out to a stretch that I knew was not so tough and about 5 K out and back.
Anyway.. good thing I changed routes because I could not even do 5 km. My legs are dead. The 30 km wind did not help but hills and wind were no excuse.. My was having a hard time putting one leg in front of the other with the left foot routinely scraping the pavement as I brought it forward on the first km.. flat.. with the wind at my back.
I think it is time to give up. GBS wins. Amazing how in the span of a week I went from thinking about entering a couple 10 km runs and thinking I could finish middle of the pack .. Between 50-60 min.. To today when I cannot even finish 5 km.
