Notes
It was only two days, but it felt like a week! After 77 straight days of running, taking the weekend off seemed to do the trick. At first, anyway. My legs were itching to go when I started. Decided to see if I could sustain 5k race pace for 2 straight miles in a windy, rainy downpour. I did, but it hurt. The last half mile was very tough. My upper respiratory issue is still coming into play, although breathing would have been fine if I hadn't pushed the pace. I don't plan on any more fast running this week until Saturday's 5k (and whether or not that will be 'fast' is debatable.)
Here were the splits: 7:58, 6:59, 6:54 (13:53 for 2 mi.), 7:57.
