Yesterday I ran around Greenlake twice. It felt good.
Total mileage for the day: 5.6mi.
Total week's mileage: 29.65 mi.
Today I went down to the BGT. I ran 12 f'ing miles! I'll tell ya'... there seems to be a "wall" for be at mile 10. It's like, I'm going along, sure I'm tired, but I'm hanging in there.. Then I pass the 10 mile mark and it seems like I can barely move forward! My abdominal muscles were so tired I struggled to remain upright! My lungs held up like champs. I did seem to have some mild left sided chest pain, but it seemed muscular in nature. I threw up a little in my mouth ans swallowed it! LOL My gait was sloppy. I couldn't help but let the thoughts of self doubt creep in.. Can I really run this far? Will I be able to finish my race? I hate these thought, but I know they are normal. The other thing that was troublesome was that I was having weird nerve pain in my hands and arms, that would send shocks of stinging electricity from my fingers and thumb radiating upwards into my forearms. I ended up having to run with my arms tucked close to me with my hands closed and resting on my collar bones. WTF is that?? Anyway, at least I made it. This week is going to be light. I am going to rest up, let my muscles repair themselves, and take care of myself. Race days in 6 days!!!!!
