One would think that it would take longer than Day FOUR to hit a wall. To be so over it that even the most influential pep talk would fail. I did not run today. Tuesday mornings I don't get off work until 7 am and my little running group runs at 5:15 am. No problem I said. I will run on my own as soon as i get off Tuesday mornings. At least its a short run and my new schedule will allow me to consistently do long runs with my group. But i was tired. I knew if i got started it would be okay and I would wake up a little. But leaving work I couldn't even keep my eyes open to drive home. I drove to the place I planned to run and where I would do Camp Gladiator afterwards. And I sat there. My feet and my body were too heavy to move after being up for two days straight with just a 2 hour nap.
I DID NOT RUN>
I managed to stick it out for Camp Gladiator then went home and passed out. I was sleep deprived and did not get out later in the day because it was so hot. I failed the test of my will today. It makes me sad that it came so quickly in the process. I want to beat myself up and quit now. But I won't. I will do my best to put today behind me and start over again on Thursday. I will get up early on my day off to run with my group and I will move forward in training for Rock N Roll Half in San Antonio!
