Notes
Rainy and windy day.
I'm filing this one under the "Not ready yet" category. After four days of short and easy running, I thought I'd see what my energy level was like today. Despite the apparently decent pace, it was pretty brutal. I included two fast half-mile intervals. Last week, during a 5-miler, I ran two of them in 3:11 and 3:07. Today, I ran them in 3:17 and 3:15 with much more effort. My lungs were tight and burned and my legs felt dead. It actually felt awkward trying to run fast. So, my body gave me the big smack-down. Back to short and easy for a few more days until whatever bug I'm fighting passes. Hopefully that'll be before my race on the 8th. But, again, the good news is that my injury-related aches seem to have diminished. Got to keep that cup half full!
