March 3rd – Running Out of Gas

March 3, 2010

I am just running out of gas this week.  I woke up late again this morning.  It seems like the more running I do the more sleep I need to repair and re-energize.  I had a decent run this evening.  It went much the same as yesterday with two miles of solid running, followed by another mile of intervals.   The only problem tonight was I just out of energy and sore the whole time.  My workouts these days seem like two steps forward and one step back.   The one place I am starting to see results is in my weight lifting workouts.  I am starting to see increases in weight and results in the mirror.  If I can just get my running in line I will be ready for summertime.
