Week 12

Week 12


Once again I had trouble with fatigue and a lack of energy this week. I know I'm getting enough sleep, but I've decided I need to go back and look at my diet. I stopped eating as much fruit as before and I had been trying to eat more calories to fuel myself, but I don't think I was eating enough. At least not enough of the right stuff. After talking to nick and hitting up the grocery store I've been getting back on track the last few days. I'm hoping that my runs this upcoming week will be better now that I've added more fruit into my diet again. Back when I was eating all those dates, way back in week 3 or 4, I was flying through my runs. Hopefully that feeling will return. I've been having crappy-ish tempo runs lately, mainly just feeling tired with heavy legs. It started a few weeks ago- I was slower than what I had been running all season, then got a little bit slower, then a little bit slower each week. I would really like to be back to where I was before.
Other than that- the 32 (first of 2) this week was awesome. My dad and I toured Oshawa/Whitby this time instead of ajax- so a nice change. I am really looking forward to the drop down week next weekend- only 23k!! then 29, 32, 23, and then we taper for the marathon. only like 5 weeks of training left- so exciting!
But its at that point in the training where I start freaking out a bit. for so long the race was 5/4 months away, and now its in like a month and a half. crazy.

anyways- wish me luck on my tempo run! my dad and I are doing our last week of hills tomorrow- can't wait for that.
