Had a setback Saturday morning. A quarter mile into my planned 15-mile run I decided to bag it. Legs were hurting and I didn't want to aggravate them. Decided to rest for the weekend.
Didn't exactly tear things up on my speed workout this morning, either. I just feel easily tired and winded for some reason. My shin splints aren't going away, and I have a new sharp pain in my right foot. I also feel mentally fatigued. Just get tired of running whenever I think of the miles ahead.
I have a short (6-mile) run scheduled for Thursday, which I might skip if legs are still hurting. I really want to force myself to do the 20-miler scheduled for next weekend, if only for morale reasons. Then the following weekend there is a 25K (15-mile) marathon tuneup race that I'm looking forward to. It was fun last year, and this year Tony and his son Cole will be running.
Tried out the new Nike Lunarglides today. They are a little large for me, but I think they will work out. My old shoes had a lot of miles on them, so maybe the new ones will be a little easier on my body.

There are times when you don't feel like doing something (type of exercise)but you need to go ahead and do it because you are going to feel much better afterward. But there are other times you don't feel like doing it when you really shouldn't. I can't tell you how to distinguish between the two but I think I've come to the point where I can. Usually if it's injury related you probably shouldn't. Hope things get better.
