More running, less walking

Do I need to redirect my blog to Buddy's Mama, The Runner???? I've been averaging 20 miles / week, following a 3 week on, 1 week off cycle (3 weeks of 20+ miles, 1 week of low mileage, around 10-12). So far so good. Except for not being able to get out of bed in the morning! Found out my iron is low and that could explain the low energy and sleepiness. I'm also short about 30g of protein every day because running tends to make me despise meat. Not sure how to fix that except to eat a chicken breast every night!

This week was tough....I've only racked up 10 miles this week. I woke up in time for a short run this morning, but my legs had other plans. I'd rather be fresh for my long run on Saturday than trying to meet my 20 mile quota. If I can run a decent 8-miler tomorrow, I'll be happy with an 18-mile week. There's always next week....
