The title of this weeks blog is spring breakdown because 1) I was on spring break, and 2) My body really felt broken down this week. I don't know what it was, but I just didn't have that extra umph that I usually have. Maybe the change in the schedule messed me up. Whatever it was, this week was rough. On tuesday, I ran a 9 mile run, and it was both mentally and physically painful. The last 2-3 miles felt like the last 2-3 miles of a 13 mile run. Usually 9 miles is the perfect distance to where I can kick it into another gear at the end and finish the last few miles strong, but this was not the case on this day. Thursday again was 9 miles, and this was the best run of the week. Friday was a painful 4 miles on the treadmill, and I swear I almost stopped about 5 times between 1-2 miles. I just had no energy. I took yesterday off, and ran 9 miles on the treadmill today. Todays run was mentally pretty challenging. It wasn't quite that bad, but overall I was pretty dissapointed with the week. I was hoping that since I was on spring break and had all this extra time, I could put in a good week, and it turned out to be the opposite. The good news is that it is almost April, and the days are getting longer and warmer. Less than two months until I am done with finals! Then the real training begins...
