Pushing past the fatigue.

Wow, was I tired today. All day at work all I wanted to do was lay down and sleep. I think the increase in mileage is catching up with me, good thing next week is a recovery week. By lunch, I was already trying to convince myself that I should just take today off and rest. But strangely, by the time I got home, I felt fine. So I got dressed and right as I was about to walk out the door, massive down pour, thunder and lightening under black skies. I decided the treadmill would be the wise choice. So I did an easy 7 with 10 x 100 race pace strides during the middle 5 miles. Total time was @ 53 minutes. Tomorrow is the Sheehan 5, and I'm not really sure what to expect. I have done almost no hard running since Spring Lake, but my legs felt surprisingly good during the strides tonight. It's not a fast course, so I'm going to try to go out "conservatively" and then pick up the pace, leaving enough to run strong during the last mile (and up Tower Hill!)
