This morning I went directly from the pool to the trails and only when I got there did I realize that I didn't have my little candy. I decided to go without and have regretted it all day. What the lifesaver does is coat my mouth with it's gooey sugar and somehow makes up for saliva. Well it doesn't make up for it, but it at least serves the purpose of preventing my membranes from drying out, which lessens the discomfort both during the run and afterwards. By the time I finished I was desperately in need of my water bottle.
The trails is definitely the right workout for the day after my long one. When I started out I considered walking right away but somehow the rolling terrain keeps me going, and I finished the loop. For the 3rd successive week it has taken me longer, but I actually consider that a good thing. It means I am putting good energy into my more critical sessions such as the long ride.
But alas I survived, and I don't think the lifesaver would have given me any extra energy, and in that I have been sadly lacking all day. We'll see what the morrow brings but right now I feel like I'm a little over the edge. I may have to back off for a couple of days. You never know though. Sometimes it is surprising the difference 24 hours can make.
Time is flying like mad though. I realized that my taper starts in 10 weeks from today!!! Holy shit!!! But that reality won't change the fact that I am about to fall asleep. Good night my loved ones.
Good night John boy.
Good night Mary Ellen.
Good night Grampa!
