Trounced by Travel

Returned to Raleigh around midnight last night from a brutal weeklong business trip to San Jose.  Completely lost touch with both the real world and the blog world, and find myself in a haze of sleep-deprivation, jet-lag, and highly suspect nutrition.  Definitely not the highlight week of my marathon training thus far:

Sleep:  Averaged maybe 4 hours a night.  Poorly done

Nutrition:  The nutritional highlight of one day was lunch at Taco Bell.  When meximelts become your high-water mark, you’ve gone way off the tracks

Number of trips to the gym:  I’m thinking of a number between zero and zero

Number of Hard CORE Club workouts:  Any number, times zero, equals ….

Running:  Managed to complete 3 of the 4 runs on my training plan, although one of the three runs was not on the correct day.  Not a complete bust, but not great.

Approximation of how I felt by the time the plane touched down last night:

Nobody’s fault but mine.

At least I only have to do 21 miles tomorrow morning.  My longest training run.  Ever.

Get him a body bag.
