Naperville 10K

I registered for a 10K last minute with Allison and Caroline. I had not run in 2 weeks and my exercise has been inconsistent. We started off with speed at mile 1 which I knew would catch up with me. Sure enough, I got this HUGE cramp that lasted through mile 2. Finally, I had to walk to get rid of it so I lost Allison and Caroline. =( It went away then I finally caught a comfortable pace. The path went through the woods and past a pretty lake. Then all of a sudden at mile 5 my cramp came back! AHH! It was painful to say the least. But...I finished.

I think I screwed up my knee. I felt like I twisted it funny because I was limping for the rest of the day. Then we all went out for a nice hearty brunch. It was a good day and I deserve to be in pain because I stopped training hardcore. Next up: 10 mile race in 4 weeks!

6.2 MILES IN 1 HOUR 8 MIN

I suck at Life.

No yoga last night. I went to sleep early again. I am having a difficult time. Sorry for no good news.

Easter Holiday

I was able to squeeze in a 3-4 mile run on Friday before the busy Easter weekend happened. I ate alot over the weekend so I feel like I need to get back on track with my nutrition. Yesterday was a realllllly miserable day for me. I got home from work and took a 3 hour nap, got up to cook dinner, be w/ RoJo, and then went back to sleep. I had some wierd dreams last night involving my grammer school PE classes. Strange.

Today is yoga night. I definetly feel more rested today and work is not as crazy....yet. So hopefully I can get on the treadmill with my podrunner intervals mix on my ipod and get a good long run in before yoga.

SO TIRED.

I did yoga Tuesday night and it felt SO good. I need to do that EVERY week no matter what. I'm going to try to go more than once. They are having one on Easter Sunday in the morning. I ran a mile before yoga on Tuesday too. It wasn't much, but I did it to warm up.

Yesterday (Wednesday), the weather was BEAUTIFUL. 75 and Sunny. Allison and I met after work to go for a run. I had such a hard time. I felt dehydrated and out of breath. So we prolly only did 2-2.5 miles before I called it quits. I guess it's better than nothing.

Again, today I feel like crap. I have a headache, im achey all over, and my back is killing me. Blah. It's supposed to be 80 degrees and sunny today. I am planning on meeting Caroline downtown to catch up for a few hours. If I feel better and there isn't traffic I might try to squeeze a run in but who knows. At this point I feel like going home right after work and going to sleep.

I need to sleep more at night. I can't function normally during the day if I dont. What can I do?!

Help.
