The last few weeks I've been feeling steadily more lethargic and run down - no real symptoms of illness, just a lot of 'bleugh'! On Tuesday I went to a circuits class - something I do regularly - and found it extremely hard going. I wasn't knackered, just unable to perform at my usual level, and reaching failure much earlier. On top of sleeping badly and lack of concentration I'm beginning to think that I'm suffering from Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD). To compound this theory, yesterday and today were both quite clear and sunny for much of the days and I'm feeling generally 'better' :)
I decided to take that as a hint to go running - something I haven't done for a couple of weeks - and was pleasantly surprised at how easy I found it. Admittedly I only went for 5km, and took a couple of minutes longer than usual, but it was an extremely comfortable and almost nice experience! Now I just need to keep that positive frame of mind and get a lot more exercise in - I have another adventure race next weekend.
A run too far perhaps...
