Can somebody please tell my legs that I am a morning runner, damn it. This morning's run was achy, stiff and just blah... hoping the deep tissue massage tonight will help loosen things up. Chasing my son around all day sure can be tiresome.
That is what being a morning runner is all about. Your legs don't give a shit, they just know it's morning. I don't think your body ever adapts to that. Mine never has.

That, and PM.

Mmmmm...beer
Mine hasn't, I always run better in the afternoon/evening. I think part of it is waking up, and part of it is optic flow, studies have shown that perceived effort is higher when it's dark.

Miraculously, I actually do quite well. But of course I'm up for 90 minutes beforehand surfing the 'net, and what not.

But mine just started this crap dang it, I am barely 28 (cries)
Usually I am tired by the evening, hmmmm, stupid body wants to drive me crazy. Then again, I didn't foam roll last night or this morning before my run, I am usually up and out the door within 30 minutes. My body used to love morning runs, I was my freshest then.... until now

If I had 90 minutes before heading out the door I'd be good to go, it's getting up and heading straight out that's rough. lol

Allow me to correct yourself. lol
I sacrifice my nights to make it happen. And trust me, some nights I DO NOT want to crash early but it's the only way to make the whole stupid thing work FFS.
Lol what does that mean. I ran mornings last year during my first with no issues. I think I started this training with issues though.
Happy birthday, Lily! You look amazing and can wear whatever you damn well please. I beat you into the 50-54 age group by 4 months. It's the only race with you I will ever win
I think what that means is during MRT you never feel fresh. Except, I'm not sure if you're running enough for that.
Amen, brother.
And if you're feeling fresh during MRT, as someone who knows much more about running than I do once said, "Give it a few more weeks." lol
Bonne fête lily,
You're funny, you're pretty and you BQ every time you race. I'd ask you to marry me, but I won't, because you already said you prefer oatmeal stories to my girl stories.
I said I did not believe in taper madness, but I gotta admit I have weird thoughts going through my mind.
Two days ago, I was a bit winded coming up from my basement. There are maybe 10-15 stairs. Doubts.
Soreness in my left hammy and under my right foot, and in my right knee when I run easy. Doubts.
Woke up in the middle of the night with Achilles soreness. Doubts.
Temperature forecast. Doubts.
I run less, but in a sense I feel more tired in the morning. Doubts.
I'm usually always looking for a good laugh at work, with DW and with the kids. I'm more serious this week.
But no, I have not felt the difficulty finishing a short run yet.
I just ate nine hundred and eighty seven thousand grams of protein.
