Is it possible to tell when your body is in a catabolic process/state?

Recently, I've been doing a ton of cardio (running) and not keeping up with my intake of food. This has resulted in really sore and tender-to-the-touch biceps and triceps. I'm wondering if my body is in a catabolic state and not getting enough food to build muscle. My running is consisting of 40-60 minutes 3/week. This past weekend I went out for a 10-mile run and felt pretty good, but probably didn't eat enough that day.

Are these signs of being catabolic?
