two steps forward, one step back

quick recap of the last few weeks and maybe a thought or two:

things had been going really well training-wise i was starting to hit the groove and finally feel good like i had wanted to. this came to a peak sunday. best run of the summer i've had. i thought it was gonna be really shitty because i had been at a family barbeque all and had eaten wayyy too much. i put off running as long as i could but finally had to go out or else it was gonna get dark. first few miles weren't great, i had some cramps and stuff but then i got rolling and negitive splitting mile after mile, felt great. had to cut it off after a little over 10 becuase it was starting to get dark. after that though i've felt like shit the last few days. i've had a few days with real poor planning where things came up and i didn't get one in and the other days i think i tried to make up for the off days by doing too much. as a result today was one of the worst runs i've had in a while.

i guess the moral of this story (if i have one) is that you can;t make up for missing a day by drushing the next day. if you miss a day, oh well, sucks, but take it and adjust your goals accordingly. if you try to crush the next day twice as hard its probably going to have negitive repercussions down the road
