I'm telling ya, when I was afflicted with the infirmity of Common Man Syndrome I could attribute my tiredness to staying up late due season finales. Or playing video games. But this year, this week, I say 'Nay, nay, nay'.
Lately I am just exhausted from all the speed work, interval training and cross training I have been doing. It physically feels like I am in the last phase of IM training but my training hours are much less. I have also changed my nutrition a bit, cutting back on processed foods, and its making me a bit tired as I my body repairs itself.
I can tell that the 'off-session' stuff is doing good for me as my weight is not dropping much but my body is leaning out as I have seen it do in the past. It means my body is putting back on the muscle it lost in all that LSD stuff.
I took yesterday off to recover and today have a 8-10 mile run planned. I may ditch it for the 3 hour Pirate of the Caribbean coming out today. I can make up the run on Sunday if I do.
Decisions. Decisions.

About Me
- Comm's
- I've been pushing the limits of my endurance my whole life. I've been called a UNcommon man for my relentless pursuit of doing something bigger than I (or most) could possibly imagine. As a soldier, a marathoner, ironman triathlete or hiker, nothing is extreme enough. Finish lines are great, but the true adventure is what it takes to get to the starting line.

A 10 mile run in triple digit heat, or a cold dark theater with a giant tub of buttered popcorn on your lap... It seem like a no-brainer to me, but I'm a sucker for movies.
On a nutritional note, think of how much fiber you'll be ingesting by downing all that popcorn. See, there's an upside to everything!!
the butter's not processed, too much...
I keep on putting off training with the onset of a cold coming on - I can feel it - but it's still just "there" - so the run is on for tonight. I'm not crazy like you - I wait for the evening to cool off a bit.
Your training sounds pretty exhausting to me. Your legs were like jello yesterday and I think it's time for a movie!
I will be running at Tempe Town Lake tonight if you decide against the movie and want to join me for a very slow 7 miler.
run with Tony or see a movie on Friday night in the air conditioning?
Yep, looks like I am running alone again tonight.
Comm's, listening to what your body's telling you = such a good plan!
Plus, I wanna hear a review of Pirates ...
