Notes
Big bite in the ass today. Plan was 11 E 8 MP, shooting for 5:40s. Overslept in the morning so I went to swallow and did the loop + an east loop from the east parking lot, then started the MP on the road and hit the cal sag trail. Feeling like I was working but not doing too bad for the first 3mi, then started to get hot and bonky a little bit. The last stretch on the way out was unshaded and the sun came out and I just couldn't hang. Turned around and just tried to keep it around 6' pace on the way back. Had to battle myself to go through 7.5mi then jogged it in from there. I think part of the issue was that it was a bit humid today, and part was that I didn't really prepare well for this. Just really tough to get out the door, like often happens after a return from vacation. Hopefully the problems today were just external and not fitness related.. but who knows. Just gonna try and train my butt off for a few more weeks and see how far I get.
