Running in the morning sets the tone for the day.” – Marc Parent
Once upon a time I went to bed every night at 8:30p and was up every morning at 4am to get my workout in. No struggle at all. I’m not sure when I lost that groove, but I am finding it quite the challenge to get it back. And I really need to get it back – especially as my runs get longer.
This week all my runs were okay. They were very doable. I was a little tired & draggy and I’m pretty sure that was related to the wake up struggle. My long run was only 5 miles this week and I had only one goal – try to make it five miles without a potty break. I’m a little worried I’m starting to have a Pavlovian response to seeing a porta potty on my runs. I see one – I have to potty. I did achieve my goal, but walked in the front door feeling a little bit of desperation.
How’d I fuel my long run?
