Even a good night sleep was not helpful today. Maybe I had too much sleep? :( Anyway my friend and I ran the parkway from mouth of the canyon to the Fort, around in the Fort just a bit, and back. I really thought I would have felt better today. I have been eating better, sleeping better. But I still struggled. I'm feeling very discouraged right now. I thought I was mentally and physically a stronger person but lately I have been feeling very weak both mentally and physically when it comes to my running. Maybe I need to have my thyroid medicine adjusted. I go every 6 months, but my next appointment is not until July. I also wonder am I using this as an excuse for my lack of drive? Even when I'm tired on my run, I think through my head, does my feet hurt? No. Does anything really hurt? No, then why am I struggling? I miss my friend Scott who was the person that got me running. Anyway, I feel pretty good now, I can do all the things I need to get done, I'm a bit stiff when I bend for a long period weeding in the garden, but nothing bad. So then I start thinking should I have pushed myself harder?
Isn't running supposed to be fun, what ever happened to the runs when you felt like you could go all day, that everything felt good, strong. Well sorry for venting so much, but this is my day.
