I think my calories must have dropped too low again. My legs felt like tree trunks today and it must have been the worst 10k time I have posted yet, over 52 minutes. I cam home and had a hearty bacon, cheese and tomato sandwich.
I will have to see what to do tomorrow, may go to the gym for some upper body rather than run but will see how I feel. Have certainly lost a bit of body fat but not huge amounts so I hope that it's just dropping too low on carbs for a couple of days. I haven't purposely done it and I even at extra yesterday to try and compensate, guess I still haven't gotten used to the extra calorie expenditure of all these 10k runs I do now!
Until tomorrow...

Hey Andrew, I know these days. You are doing great, and your sandwich sounds delicious...sometimes I have a banana in my hand when I go for a run becasue I am very afraid of these wobbly legs...Juli
A day off will certainly help, and you just might see a big surge in your run. JULI is right...eating a banana right before you run will help. I often do that so will get a lift. Think tho that you probably are just tired. But hey, I´ll take a 10K any day at 52 minutes! YOu are doing much better than you give yourself credit for....

Hi Juli, They were heavy legs not wobbly ones yesterday, I agree I hate the wobbly legs!! I always have a banana about 1 hour before running, any closer and I would struggle to run having eaten so close!!
Hey Lynda, It has, I think a combination of tiredness and lack of calories, went to gym today and had a good feed up!!
Thanks for dropping by Bec.
Take care...
