With the new place on the Cape, and absorbing a full time role at work - I'm crunched for both time and energy. A quick read through of the log and I see the word "bonk" far too often, especially since they are on short/easy runs. I'm sure it's a combination of the marathon being in my system, and the new 'stressors' in life, but I'm confident it's a short term issue. Nonetheless, I've scaled back my workouts, and started to add more mileage during my morning commute - where I don't seem to have any issues except for simply being tired. When I can remember, I'm taking either an iron or calcium/VitD supplement in case it's diet related.
Another thing I'm seeing (or not seeing) is the lack of a plan or goal on the schedule. I was contemplating mile training, but I don't know yet. Summer time running is usually dictated by whatever is going on that particular week, and....well, I'll likely just wing it. All that really matters is the mileage anyways, right?
THE STUFF!
