Need cheering up

[stillwaddler]

According to the illustrious Hal Higdon this should be my heaviest mileage week before FLM, a tidy 40 miles. Trouble is, I'm really tired. Because the distances are long for mid week, 5 Tuesday,10 Wednesday and 5 again on Thursday I can't do my usual midday runs from work so it has to be after work. By that time I'm kn****ed and v. hungry, I managed on Tuesday but followed it by a very slow plod around a 9 mile cicuit last night and couldn't even be bothered to make it up to the required 10.

Should I run tonight or try and marshall my resources for the 20 miles required on Sunday? It feels like cheeting if I don't go out this evening, but right now I just couldn't face it. Mr SW missed the Tuesday run and was a fresh as a blinking daisy last night, made me feel a lot worse of course.

The only slightly bright light on the horizon is that the promised taper starts after the 20 miler. Right now i cna't imagine having the energy to get roung 26 miles and 285 yards (God Bless Queen Victoria for those extras!)

Will put report on about the last week or so soon, have just run out of lunch hour.
