Hello!
Life has truly been an enigma lately.
I have found that I have been feeling great at the beginning of the day, very tired by the end and very moody and emotional in between. One minute I'm grumpy and stressed, then I just want a hug, then I just want to run but when I finally get on the road I don't have any get up and go. It's weird.
That's exactly how I felt today. I had way too much energy all day and I was very moody but when I got on the road for a run, my lower legs felt heavy, my breathing was heavy, and I was going pretty slow. The only two things I can think would be affecting this is the amount of coffee I've been ingesting since school started. (It's free, y'know.) and a serious lack of water, and, perhaps, that I'm not as recovered from the marathon as I think I should be. But I felt great on Sunday. What gives?
So, I'm going to drink more water. (I've been a water-guzzling champion since the run tonight). I'm also going to sleep a full night, though that really hasn't been an issue lately.
I'm also noticing a little pain in my lower back and my core muscles feel really week. As much as I hate core exercises, I may have to give in and do some fifty-fifties.
My folks and I had a most excellent dinner at the French cafe' tonight. They're pretty darn awesome!
And, just so you know, what follows is about the best version of "Hotel California" I have ever heard. It may just earn the title of "Liz's favorite song this week."
I love "Hotel California" all the time, but this version is especially good, I think. I never realized how many guitars you need to play that song right!
A+
Liz

Hey Liz!
It sounds like you are just getting back into the swing of things at work... it seems any change in routine can get the roller coaster movin'!
As it pertains to running, you are doing great. You survived the marathon training, survived the marathon itself, you've detrained properly and now you are ready to get back to it and pick it up a little. That will also boost your metabolism and you most likely won't feel so "frumpy". I realize one of your goals is to work on speed, so these shorter races before Zeitgeist will help tremendously. You'll also ease your way into Dots and pickups again. Nonetheless, we all have days where we have "moody lower legs"...roll with the punches and keep on truckin'!

Shorter and faster runs are in my cross-hairs, wanna trade??
