This 10k training has been tough. Tough to make decisions not to go out, or to go and leave very early. Tough to not be a zombie all the time. Tough to actually get through the runs themselves. Even tougher to do all the good recovery things I'm supposed to do after them.
I see the how excited my friends are for me I'm running these days, but it hasn't quite registered for me yet. It's like I know from a distance that this is quite the accomplishment, but it almost feels like all that amazing stuff is happening to someone else.

I'd love to take a break, start up in a couple of weeks again, but I know how detrimental that would be to. And I have people counting on me to be there for them (just like I count on them to be there for me).
I've been in a vicious cycle of poor nutrition contributing to more exhaustion contributing to no energy to dedicate to my nutrition. Work hasn't helped much, asking longer hours of me.
I already know running 12k today will ruin me. I have good friends supporting me and not expecting much out of me thereafter today, and I need to make sure to take care of myself day after day this week.
