AM - Ran bridge. Kicked it down to do it in 29:30. Still slow average pace: 7:40. Generally speaking my legs just kind of feel awful.
PM - Started off down dikes for a twenty minute warm up. After finishing the twenty minutes, I started up the paved switchbacks to begin my 40 minute cut down (10, 9, 8, 7, 6). It went pretty well. Paces were 6:47. 6:29, 6:05 (this one may be slow compared to the actual pace), 5:46 and finished with 90 seconds at the same pace. My legs were not feeling it and my stomach was done. The goal is to get all the way through the final rep and have a 60 second kick at the end once I'm at a stronger fitness level. Finished with 3 miles CD home. Drank too much water, got an awful side ache and ran very very slowly.
