"I believe that driving is more risky [than climbing]. The rock is never drunk, or on a cell-phone, or reaching into the back seat to smack a kid. Gravity is always there, of course, but it's not going 30mph at one time and driving a semi-truck at 80mph another."

Living in “the wall”

So I thought that not running since Tuesday could work as a decent rest. I was wrong again.

Today at noon, I bailed from an attempt of running a nice mixed street/trail 21 km course. I felt so heavy, slow and exhausted. I was at the 6th km when my body rang the alarm to stop and get back before things went wrong.

Along with a couple of badly attended common runner injuries, I haven’t found a way to rest properly or better said, I haven’t made the effort. This week, my heart rate has been so accelerated while exercising that I’m unable to maintain a moderate effort over an extended period of time. I feel like being in “the wall” forever…
