Things didn't go as planned though. And I did it to myself. I had eggs for breakfast. I should have known better, I've had bad runs before after eating eggs. I started off great…but it turned bad quickly and I went from running 10 at pace to running 8 to 10 at an easy pace….to just getting 4 in….to calling it quits….at mile 2. Yep, I got 2 whole miles…and had stopped twice during those 2 miles. I couldn't even concentrate on my beloved Gossip Girl because of how badly my stomach hurt! So the new plan is to get 8 to 10 tomorrow at pace and then start the taper. And no eggs!
Other than today's bust, I couldn't be happier with my runs lately. My mileage has been inching up, my long runs have gotten longer, my paces have been going down, and my motivation and enthusiasm has been higher than it has been in years and I'm loving every minute of it. Except today :-/
I'm excited for Saturday and liking what I see on the forecast so far. Not only is there the race to look forward to this weekend, but Brian's hockey team received an invite to Regionals and will be kicking off their post-season play with a tournament a couple hours away from Myrtle Beach and my in-laws will be coming down for the weekend to watch the games. Plus I'll get to catch up with Vanessa, albeit briefly since I'm only hopping over to Myrtle Beach for the race and will be spending the bulk of my time at the hockey tournament, who is running the full at MBM.
What do you do to rebound from a bad run? What are the top triggers for a bad run for you?
What do you think is the perfect race weather?
That is definitely the perfect race weather - let's hope it stays that way! I find that my last long runs before a race are often less than awesome, but by now the training is done. Hope your run tomorrow is better!
ReplyDeleteWe all have bad days so just put it behind you and I am sure your next run will be great.
ReplyDeleteBad runs stink. I have certainly have had plenty of them lately :) In marathon (or half marathon) training it seems to happen alot more often! BUT they also make me realize how much I appreciate a good, strong, runner's high run. I never take a good run for granted after I spent about 2 weeks with nothing but bad runs to start this year!! Good luck at Myrtle Beach. It doesn't look like I am coming now since my friend decided to try her BQ attempt at Snicker's marathon in Albany instead of MB. Are you driving all the way here from Arkansas?? GOOD LUCK!!
ReplyDeleteThat stinks, but hopefully it was just a matter of getting a bad one out before the race!
ReplyDeleteAlso, good luck to Brian and his hockey boys! My husband coaches the vanderbiltteam (I think we emailed about this a few months ago when I first discovered the blog world and your blog in particular!) and Vandy is not having quite as successful a year. Sounds like a good chance we'll meet you in the SEC tourney...which won't be so great for us....
Anyway, good luck on the race and in the hockey games!
Yes! Betsy, I remember you commenting before! I can't find an email address for you on your account info, but I think I will be at SECs, it would be great to meet you. Let me know your plans!
DeleteI think you just had to get the bad run done before the race. Typically my bad runs are due to poor hydration the day before.
ReplyDeleteYour race day temps looks perfect!
Eggs are just bad! ;)
ReplyDeleteYou're going to crush this race. CRUSH IT! I just wish I was going to be there to see it!!
Awww bummer, but seriously yeahhhh for so many great runs. I can't wait till my body recovers and I get back to that too! :) nothing like it.
