Running on Empty

Despite a good week including a turbo session in the sunshine in the garden yesterday, had a bit of a meltdown today. Not sure why but just woke up feeling a bit miserable and was hit by a cloud of doubt and tears : (

Luckily, I was able to turn the tanker around. Downloaded some songs for my iPod for my run and despite feeling very dehydrated and sluggish, I was soon back into my stride after running in the sunshine listening to an extended version of Bizarre Inc's 'Playing with Knives'. Suddenly I was transported back to being 19 years old and dancing on the stage at Rio's nightclub in Bradford. Hilarious memories. Anyway, it's very fast and suddenly realised my heartrate was about 160 which was pushing into a zone not prescribed for the session!

So, today I both lost and re-found my training mojo all in the space of a few hours. The dehydration was also a bit of a lesson. The type of schoolgirl error that there is no excuse for these days.
