Roll
I woke up this morning and my legs still felt like absolute crap. I rolled and did what I could before to help loosen them up, but I I know I was going to have to put it behind me and not use them as an excuse. I read my manual and reminded myself of all the things we've talked about since the beginning of the year. My legs didn't ease up as I began warmup. I just kept reminding myself that I have to put the work in and dig deep, this is what's going to make me stronger. As much as I wish I had fresh legs instead of dead legs this was practice to dealing with discomfort. I had no idea how fast I was running, as the splits were in miles which are foreign to me. I was hoping to run a lot faster than I did. My body was urging me to ease off, but I told myself to just go and this is what matters, running when I feel like crap. At the half way mark I was feeling very spent and the time was far from where I should've been, but I told myself that now is when I have to go. I was smiling and making some weird sounds on off till the end. Quite a few people went by and my legs didn't have much to respond with, but they kept me chasing. There was a lady who I was around for the entire race and I really wanted to beat her. I told myself I was going to be the first one to the line no matter how much it hurt and I did that. I ended on the ground and exhausted. I thought it felt like someone had smashed my legs with hammers before I started, but after it felt like they had been run over. It took me some time to find enough energy to start cooldown, but I did and stuck to soft surfaces for the most part. It was slow but I knew that making myself run I was going to feel better later. I don't think my legs have every felt so trashed! Rolling was very painful and bending down was very hard. If I focus on just the time it's easy to be upset about the race, but looking at how I ran with how my body felt I feel bette. I am interested to know how I will run when I'm not running 130km/week but I will have to be patient. This is supposed to be hard and I will get rewarded in 4-6 weeks. I still have things to improve on, for the mental side of things, but I have come a long way. There are much more encouraging thoughts coursing through my head.
