Cold Turkey

Run: 12K in 66:31, Avge HR 157, Hard Work

I got out late this morning and decided to run as far up Windsor Rd as the bike path extends. As I seem to always do on this path, I went out too hard, I think I did the first 3K at about 5 minute pace, but then I settled as I noticed my HR getting too high. Still, a good tough run. I need to learn to hold back a bit. The aim today was more like six minute pace.

While the last week has been mostly great, I'm still not sleeping at all. Today I took the drastic step of not having any caffiene. Usually I have two or three coffees, all espresso, and today has been tough. The headache kicked in at midday, and I have felt awful all day. I'm hoping that the withdrawal symptoms will be gone by Monday, when I start working. That's if I make it through the weekend without succumbing.
