Damn, I'm tired! My legs wouldn't move this morning. After the long weekend of training, I had a great swim on Monday afternoon. I did an easy ride at the lake with the husband and LG after work.... I fell asleep immediately after LG hit the hay (slept in my pants and sweatshirt with makeup - gross!). I got up early to do track this morning and man, it was tough.

I was supposed to do 1 mi. WU, 2 x 400, 2 x 1600, 2 x 400, 2 mi CD. It was just too much for my legs. I felt like my legs weighed a hundred pounds. And can we just talk about how friggin' boring it is to run around the track? I realized today that we run counter-clockwise at the track but everywhere else we run clockwise. Hmmm, why is that? Why is it that I was thinking of random stuff while trying to do a track workout? Could it be that my mind was desperately searching for something to stimulate it during the tedious loops of the track? I needed something to keep me going. I don't know what it is about that stupid track. It seems like I'm always beating myself up out there. I can't remember a time when I actually enjoyed my run at the track. It's soooooo hard mentally! What can I do to shake it up a little bit? Maybe I need to start running w/ the iPod again. I just didn't want to get hooked on training w/ music when I won't be able to use it during a race.

I ended up cutting my workout short this morning. I couldn't finish the second mile repeat. I did finish it, but I stopped running briefly - then tried to regroup and finish... it just didn't work for me. I cut off my 2 mile cool down. GEEZ. I can't keep cutting my workouts, but shit - I'm TIRED!! and I have to work and I have to have the energy to be a Mom and a wife when I get home... someone needs to have a discussion with my coach! Ha - I live w/ him.

I think I'm due for a massage. Something to work the tiredness out... time to call "The Donald". I need to keep better track of my massages, I know it's important for training and recovery to get them regularly.

Does everyone else feel this dang tired? Anyone? How do you do it? When work is slow, it's all I can do to keep my eyeballs open! Geez, I've still got 1.5 hours to go, maybe noone will notice if I schedule myself for a meeting in one of the private conference rooms (take a little nap), only thing is that I'll probably wake up w/ drool and weird marks all over my face. Or better yet, I won't wake up until like 7:00 p.m.
