Some days are tougher than others...

Tonight I went for an 8 miler. With the distances I'm getting used to running recently this shouldn't have been a difficult one. It was though. Why are some days so much harder than others?

I've not been sleeping well recently and I've been having sinus-type headaches but I don't think it's that. My head felt fine running, my energy levels didn't feel low, I wasn't tired. The leg muscles just didn't seem to want to engage. It's very odd!

Despite that though I did run the 8 miles and I wasn't far off pace. Maybe it's psychosomatic? Or maybe I just need a wee rest? I'm due to run a 5 miler tomorrow, I'll see how I feel when the time comes!

Anyway, this was my view about mile 6 as I came down portobello promenade. At least I had good scenery!
