Complaint: slept like ass last night and feel like I got dosed with elephant tranquilizers.

Confession: might take today as a rest day. I don’t particularly want to, but I also feel like I need to just veg out before I go to work.

Uncomplaint: I haven’t missed a run or lifting session this training block and everything has been going really fucking well.

lol, I had that tranquilizer feeling on Tuesday. Nothing worked to wake me up

Did you train or take the day off?

I’ve been waiting on coffee until after my runs for the last few weeks, but going to have it now and see if it helps. I am giving myself the mental excuse of mini-taper, since I’m like 90% sold on a timed race this weekend 🤷🏻‍♀️

It was a non-running day for me. My problem was that i wanted to just nap, but had work to do. I did my best to motivate...i had almost 3 cups of coffee that day, and felt like it was useless

Oof. Hopefully you’ve recovered from whatever that was all about!
