J'ai frappé un mur de brique

O la la, Je suis très fatigué!!!!

I'm so tired I can't even speak Engrish!!! LOL

The common warning signs of overtraining include the following:

• Mild leg soreness, general achiness
• Pain in muscles & joints
• Washed-out feeling, tired, drained, lack of energy
• Sudden drop in ability to run ‘normal’ distance or times
• Insomnia
• Headaches
• Inability to relax, twitchy, fidgety
• Insatiable thirst, dehydration
• Lowered resistance to common illnesses; colds, sore throat, etc.

Shite, I did it again... Some HUGE training weeks, combined with little or no recovery time led me head first into the wall.

Subsequently I've really notched things down this past week, including a nice rest last weekend (the weather was shite anyhow!).

I'm feeling a bit better, not quite as mentally and physically drained but my legs are sore. The soreness could be attributed to the new PB I hit during my LSD run yesterday.. 1 hr 45 min WOOOT!!!!

So I experienced an epiphany over the weekend.

I AM DOING TOO MANY RACES

It's not the racing I enjoy so much... it's THE TRAINING I love!!!!!!! Subsequently, I've completely revamped and reduced my race schedule for the summer. New schedule is in the sidebar.

Keeping in mind my long term goal of completing an Ironman distance I am focusing on my 1/2 IM races this summer.

My Massage Therapy program will be completed by the 3rd week in Aug 2007, SO.... IMC'07 is doable if it's something I want to commit to whilest in school.

We shall see!
