I usually work out right after work and before dinner. I have been working to grab something before I leave work but it is still a work in progress. Now that you have taken the time to think about the reasons, you can move forward with solutions. No use in dwelling. =) @crystalware I have a problem with not fueling before heading to the gym or out for a run. I usually work out right after work and before dinner.

We may not go fast, but we can go the distance. I saw on your blog that your half marathon is in one week, Good Luck! Always glad to meet another turtle runner.

I'm about to run my first half-marathon! I look forward to reading more about your trainings, races, and journey towards your marathon, as well as how you juggle it with family!

I have a hard time adjusting to the warmer temps and 82 degrees would definitely throw off my tempo run right now. Also not having the right food with me... I have been taking a gu right before I start my tempo portion of my run and its REALLY helped me lately. Just move on and focus on the next run like you said. No point in looking back and dwelling, you will get the next one! these runs definitely happen to ALL of us.

Breakfast is usually oatmeal w/raisins, and I make sure I drink at least 12 oz of water. If I work out later, I usually grab a piece of fruit or a kashi bar before heading out. Joe, I agree, therefore, I am skipping out on today's(friday) spin class. I need to rest up for 2morrow's run :) Lisa,

Seriously tho, rest is just as important as nutrition and stretching etc. when you train. Maybe all the spinning classes have used more energy than you thought. Allow yourself a day off! :) Even turtles need rest! Seriously tho, rest is just as important as nutrition and stretching etc. when you train.

Sometimes I do well and others times I don't I'm trying to figure out what snack works best for me right now, what do you usually eat pre-run? Of course I needed to go grocery shopping so that may have been part of my problem today. You've outlined some pretty good reasons for why you felt the way you did. Knowing is half the battle, now you know how to rectify it. I'm definitely learning that rest is a good thing. I need to work on fueling my body better too.
