Tirppin, and Stumblin...

So I went for a short "run" the day after my 10K, and only made it about 1.5 miles.  I walked the rest of the 3 mile loop because I was just plain pooped (I didn't poop, I WAS pooped).  I didn't run yesterday because I worked all day, and frankly, I'm exhausted.  I've worked 8 days in a row (I worked both of my days off because a co-worker has the flu).  Today, somehow, I had a burst of energy at work, and still had it when I got home, so I rushed into my running gear and went for a run.  


Welll, I couldn't find my concentration.  I felt super clumsy and heavy-footed.  I figured I'd just had too much coffee today and would eventually warm up.  Nope.  The entire run I was struggling.  At one point I decided to make it a nice slow run, stretch out, relax... Nope.  My body kept pushing (I'm sure it had nothing to do with the fact that I have an AMAZING running playlist and new running socks that are oh-so cushy).  So I decided to push it, heavy feet and all.  I added a small, but steep hill and put my distance at 4 miles today.  I had to stop once to catch my breath because I got a side-ache.  


Why do we have runs like this?  Where you WANT to go out and run, and you are totally in that zone, but as soon as you hit the pavement, you feel off?  

Happy feet in their new socks :)

Oh well, at least I got out there today, and I feel pretty damn good even tho I struggled with my run.


Favorite song of my run?  "Drunk Girl" by Something Corporate.
