Ran 5.5 miles in a steady cold drizzle this morning, still consistent with my 9:40 min/mile pace. I think I'm still kinda worn out by Tuesday's 10-miler, though the dark and damp weather might have something to do with it as well. Is it common to feel so fatigued when first ramping up one's miles? Three months ago I was running maybe 5 or 6 miles a week (if at all), last month I averaged 14 per week, and for December I'm hitting at least 22 each week. I know I've totally blown the 10% rule out the window in an accelerated attempt to get where I want to be now, so hopefully this overall blahness should lift soon.<br><br>
Or maybe it's just the rain. <img alt="smile.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/smile.gif"><br><br>
Feel better,TomWhite and Riley. Enjoy your new Garmin, Opie (I can't use mine without the cradle either, never bothered to read the book). Good for you Mariposai that you're dealing well with the tedium of the TM. Good runs to all!
