47:00 :: 7 miles

Easy run. Still feeling a bit tired, though I think it's sleepy tired and not running tired. The hours are low right now (6-7 per week), and I remember from last year, when the mileage is low, so goes the energy level. Seems like the less I run, the less I want to run, and the lower my overall energy level is. I'm still getting 7-7.5 hours of sleep a night, which is normal, so there may be something to the hypothesis.

I'm with ya on the less I run, the less I want to run thing. It's all about momentum.

Good luck this weekend.

Interesting hypothesis.

I am sure that on many occasions 'sleepy tired' and 'running tired' are not musually exclusive, but rather that your body is feeling the effects of both - somewhere along a continuum with 'sleepy tired' at one end and 'running....oh hell, I am giving this WAY too much thought.

Greg's right. A body at rest and all that.

My vote is that it's just old age.

I've experienced the same thing most of my adult life. Adults are old and stuff.
