AM - I was just tired from how short of a night Sunday was, so I got out at 6:45. Did the new favorite three mile route. It's really a nice one. I was shooting for 25 minutes, but I miscalculated and ended up 12 seconds over even with a strong finish sprint. I stopped twice. Once to retie my shoes and once at a stop light. Today's morning run was sweet because I ran past the girl's team, and they were all like "Hey!" I'm a sucker for recognition from attractive females.
PM - I was late getting out tonight. I stumbled home from a rough day of work showering in ceiling insulation and drywall, took my shirt off and fell asleep on the the love sac for two hours. That's so unlike me. It was pretty sad, I have to admit.
75 minute run with a 35 minute tempo in the middle. I had this awesome idea to do it based on effort and cut it down. So this is what happened.
21 min W.U. up to the top of the hill.
9 min at level 1 (fast training run): 1.3, 6:57 pace, all on the hill
8 min at level 2 (really long tempo): 1.22, 6:31 pace, dropped off the hill and saw my ward
7 min at level 3 (normal tempo effort): 1.12, 6:13 pace, Sage to SUU
6 min at level 4 (this side of the red line effort): 1.00, 6:00 pace, up the side of SUU campus
5 min at level 5 (all that's left): My digestive system went pow, and then I knew I was done.
Some distance of cool down... Idk my watch died. I think I ended up right around 10 miles. It was dark and really late. I had a fast five minutes left in me, but my stomach said no. It wasn't time to bust a gut. That takes a while to recover from. The tempo was slower than I wanted, but whatever. I was effort focused. *sigh* Time to recover and focus on improving as much as possible by the fall.
