I think today I hit a wall. I had planned to run 5 or 6 miles with my friend Jamie today. However, strong weather changed our plan, and I ended up doing a neighborhood run by myself this afternoon.
I figured a nice 4 miles would be an easy run for today. 2.5 miles in, however, I hit my first wall of this training. My legs felt like they had 10 pound weights on them and I was running in mud. I finished 3.7 miles in 39 minutes. A disheartening run, to say the least.
I remember days like this from my previous training. I equate it to a major league pitcher going through a "dead arm" period. Young pitchers aren't used to pitching as many innings as they do in the majors, and near the end of the season their arm is just too fatigued to be effective.
Hopefully this is just an isolated event, but I fear I may need to shut it down for a few days. My 3 mile run tomorrow hopefully will be a better one.
