Sunday “Easy”

Because my long run happened on Saturday, I was to run an easy forty five minutes followed by stride work at the end.

When I began, the park area was already full but I found parking at my usual spot. I ran slowly, my body never quite picking up the pace. The exhaustion seemed quite apparent although exactly why I don’t know. Pollution? Wearing a mask for some of these runs?

At any rate, later in the day, taking a short nap on the couch, I felt quite wiped out. At a work meeting in the evening, I was better, gaining some energy with a cup of tea.
