I feel guilty for going overboard. My body does not deserve the punishment. I work so hard all week to eat healthy and exercise. Then in a moment of weakness, I take a huge step backwards. I’m trying not to be so hard on myself. But I really have to stay focused.
Anyway I drove to Calgary Saturday morning. I was a mess. I didn’t want to ruin part of my weekend or disappoint Alison because of my stupidity the night before. I’ll never forget that drive.
We set off for a short hike in Kananaskis area. I love the mountains. I wish I lived closer. I would be climbing every weekend. We had a great day. Next time I’d like to reach a summit. Hopefully I can convince Alison to do a full day hike.
This morning I set out later than usual for a long run. I wore my hydration pack because it was hot. I felt pretty good for the first 16k. Then I hit a big low. I was hungry and I felt light headed. I didn’t have any choice but to keep running.
Fortunately there’s plenty of shops on my route. I stopped into Winks where I quickly ordered and devoured a small veg sub.
Then I continued on… I know. Crazy. Never been so out of it before on a run.
Clearly it was not my best long runs. Glad I got those miles in though. I’m feeling way behind in my marathon training. Only six weeks to go before Kelowna! I booked my hotel and flights this week. I can’t wait to get out of this place. I need a serious holiday.
