Gonna sleep well tonight.

Distance: 5.91 km? (I assume. I left my garmin at home)

Time: Approx. 44 minutes.

I ran home again. It wasn’t quite as speedy a trip as it was on Monday, but I did stop to chat with Mum for about 30 seconds or so, stopped at a couple of lights for what seemed like forever, and when my audio book ran out I stopped to change my playlist. I almost beat the bus, and I’m sure I actually would have if it hadn’t been for the delays. What I’m really feeling right now is the fatigue. When I was only running once a week I didn’t really get fatigued, but I’ve been exhausted this week. I had Zumba last night and had enough difficulty dragging myself out of bed this morning that I anticipate some real issues tomorrow.

I’ve been trying to keep my food intake steady to test my theory regarding my weight equilibrium, but it’s been a tough and somewhat stressful week so far. I’ve developed a worrying addiction to McDonald’s soft serve cones with Flakes in them, and so far this week I’ve had three of those. Plus extra snacks. Plus beer. I’m not worried. I’ll watch my weight and if I see any sort of upward trend I’ll adjust. I think my body is trying to keep my energy up because of the extra exercise, and I think I’m on target to actually lose a couple of hundred grams this week.

I think my Saturday long run might be a little bit more difficult than it usually is if my muscles haven’t had time to recover. I’m intending to go for 14km, as it’s a nice easy brainless around-the-lake-and-back-again route.
