getting closer to the edge...

I am really pushing the envelope this week. After last Wednesday, I went 2h in the am, and then about 40 in the evening on Thursday. I did another long run, 2h17, with strides, on Friday. Saturday I ran 2h30, over to Ile Notre Dame, and ran with Boreal during their half marathon. Probably about 31k total. That was it man. I had yesterday off and I was feverish, and a sore throat for sure. Probably from the post-Char arriving poutine. Evil cheese! This morning I tried a "tempo" which was ridiculously slow, but I suppose the effort level was right. My legs actually felt fine on the warm up and warm down, and "only" running 90min was kind of a treat.

Seriously though, I think I am burning out my brain. I think there is something somewhere about marathon training and getting enough glucose to the brain. I am definitely low. I am constantly eating, but it's not really helping. I'm nervous, paranoid, tired, stressed...it can't be good. I was supposed to do 2h tomorrow, but I'm going to tone it down to 90min. I am supposed to do 5x2k on Wednesday, so I want to be ready for it. Gotta take my own advice and prioritize recovery.

Short post, but, as I said, the brain, she's low on juice...
