“The truth is we can all run faster. But the truth hurts”- unknown

It’s so true.  Today’s 7 miler was somewhat painful.  After last week’s great 10 miler, I thought I’d try to pick up the pace a bit.  It backfired on me…before I knew it I was ready to quit.  I was cold, I was wet, I was having trouble with my breathing, and I was tired.  Maybe I’m coming down with something…?  This was probably not the best week to try to pick up the pace.  It’s been a long week. I worked 9 days straight, (I finally had a day off today), and even though I haven’t missed any of my runs, I did all of my last 3 runs indoors (yes, including the 5 miler…ugh!).  I’ll just blame it on the ice…needless to say, I’m extremely tired and probably should be asleep right now.  Instead I decided to take down the Christmas tree (hadn’t gotten around to it yet) and now that I’m done, I’m a little wired.
