Overdoing it

After 17 days of 10k runs in a row I stopped. Or was stopped, I should say, by a sinus infection.

Who knows whether there is causation, but there definitely is correlation.

I feel better now after four days of very early bedtimes and lots of sleep, and will run starting tomorrow.

The running frankly gave me bragging rights that I took advantage of. That’s not good. That’s ego.

The 10k daily routine is something that I wouldn’t mind staying at. But now it’s time to be a bit more sane. Other people are deliberate about their exercise routines. I should be, too.

Rather than look at this as a failure I see this as finding a productive fault line. Time to adjust.

One other interesting correlation: a foul mood. I stopped reading in the morning, stopped writing my thoughts here, and was generally pissy. I can’t wait to get moving again tomorrow.
