As mentioned with last weeks Sunday morning running post, it is a rough period for my family. It really had me feeling lost and down for weeks. While I was able to take good care of others, I was not taking good care of myself.
While it is too early to judge if I really turned the tie there, I can say I was able to find a little rhythm again and go 3 days in a row with a modest milage (as that doesn’t give too much pressure on my wife to be with the kids when she is bedresting)
Today was only 5 km, but it was fun and didn’t go all too bad. The temperature was still high with high humidity so sweating a lot but hey! I was running again!
The long period of stress, bad eating , short nights and hardly no activity reduced my vo2max by 8 in a period of 4 months… crazy to recall I did 3 marathons this year already and lost so much in such a short time. But , more important things now and it is not to late to get back on the right track!
Wishing you a good weekend!
