Saturday morning run

Well, set off for a run this morning feeling ok, after a gel and a banana and plenty of water. Felt ok up to 20 minutes. All of a sudden, bonk! No energy in legs and overwhelming feeling of hunger. I just stopped, not able to run any more. Walked for 10 minutesd and ran back a mile at a very gentle pace. Got back, had recovery drink, 1 large bowl of muesli, 2 pieces of toast, banana. Had a bath and felt much better.
My own doing, did not re-fuel enough yestersday and I think a little tired after a stressful last few days. Will rest tomorrow and as away on a work course for 3 days next week, will get a good rest and will re-charge my batteries. Will still manage a turbo workout on Monday night, and maybe a gym session on Wednesday night, but easy few days, whilst I'm still feeling abit tired.
Night out at the cinema tonight, might get some sleep!!!

Your blog suggests that you are a bit out of sorts and having very mixed success with your disciplines . Looks like a good rest might put you on an even keel and return to training with a vengeance.

Indeed you are quite right. We have had a family bereavement with a funeral on Thursday, been a lot of travelling, and general upset. I have slept most of Sunday and will have 3 days of not a great deal other than 1 gym session and 1 turbo workout. Recharge batteries and then back to it.
Time is ticking on, and we're nearly into February. 1st tri is on March the 4th, a short sprint tri near Wimborne, the Mad March Tirathlon. This will just be a good tester to see where I am with my overall training.
