<p> </p>
<p>I have to admit I haven't officially "trained" much ever; <span style="text-decoration:underline;">but</span> I <span style="text-decoration:underline;">was</span> piling on the miles the December before last to make my Pace Bunny goal and a couple times at the end of that road, I had the memorable experience of feeling like I was going to absolutely throw up if I ran another step. My body was sending me a very strong message and yes, I took a break!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Other than that experience of "overtraining," I have recently been trying to increase my weekly mileage and the distance of some of my runs. I found that when I moved Wed up to 8 miles and Monday up to 6 miles, I simply couldn't run on Thursday due to leg pains - I'd say from "overtaining" or just trying to do too much at this point. So after missing a couple Thursdays, I decided to reduce my Tues and Thurs runs to just 3 miles. So far, that has proved to be the solution. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>My "training plans" aren't set in stone. I have to work with the body I've got and its limitations. I'll tough it out during a a planned run that may be quite challenging; but I'll review my plan, my goals, and where I'm at after it to see if any changes are needed so I can do better on that run the next time.</p>
